  • It's good that you of your own accord have faced up to the wrong you did. I assume you apologized to your sister, although you didn't say so.

    Two of my brothers molested our little sister, but I didn't know about it at the time because I wasn't living with them then. Later, when I was living there I was tempted to do the same, but I resisted, because I love my sister and I didn't want to hurt her.

    Years later when our sister revealed the molestation she was troubled by the thought that she must have done something to encourage them or lead them on. She felt guilty. At that time I wanted to try to bring her some comfort and let her know that it wasn't her fault.

    I told her that I had similar thoughts and it wasn't because of anything she did, it was because I was a horny teenager and she was there, and I felt that by me being bigger I could take advantage. I also told her that I resisted the urge because I loved her. I was embarrassed and ashamed to even admit I had thought of such a thing but I thought it was important for her to know that it wasn't her fault what our brothers did to her.
    At that point somebody else who was listening in to our conversation interrupted with his comments about our brothers and then the subject got changed, so she never commented on my confession.
