[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658568, member: 1550"] Yes, you're right. And it is also VERY common, if not the rule, that others who live in the house deny there was abuse. Like David Pelzer's oldest sibling who took on the husband role to his sick mother. David Pelzer was taken into custody at age twelve, weighing nothing, his bones sticking out because he was starved. Yet his siblings (two) deny it was "that bad" because they were allowed to eat and were called by their names a nd not called "it" and did not feel the pain David and later Richard felt. If I had not been in my family, I just know the abuse would have been heaped on sis. It is just how it is in badly dysfunctional families. Somebody has to be the scapegoat. And everyone in the family usually looks the other way or gets in on the action. Cedar, we are stereotypes. [/QUOTE]
