as i approach my sixth sixth birthday i have found my mind going back many years to different things that have happened to me and my loved ones. it was about half a century ago that one of my sisters was sexually abused near a public school. i do not know the specifics, my parents didn't tell me and i didn't ask. i can tell you that it was right about that time that my sister changed.  already a bit of a "problem child," she then went over the line and has been having serious mental health issues all these years.  people talk about being open minded. i don't feel open minded to the SOB who did that to my sister.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister being abused. It sounds like a horrible and difficult situation for all involved. I can understand how the abuser could create a lasting impact on your sister's life. Being open-minded to the abuser requires understanding where they are coming from and how they may be dealing with their own struggles and problems. It can also involve compassion for any pain and issues that caused them to do this, instead of only focusing on the distress it caused for everyone else. Although it may be difficult to think of them in that way, being able to have some form of empathy can help open up mindedness towards them. Wishing you all the best.
