Dear Amy: I am a 73-year-old woman. I was sexually molested by my older sister when I was about 11 years old.

She was greatly influenced by her “friend” who sexually molested my 10-year-old friend at the same time.I did not tell anyone. Our father was very physically abusive toward both my mother and my sister.After my parent’s divorce when I was 17, I continued to keep the secret and have done so until this day. I often told myself that I would confront her after our mother passed away.Well, our mother died four years ago and I did not confront my sister. I’m sure she would deny that it ever happened.

The only thing I know for sure is that I will NEVER serve as her caregiver when/if she becomes incapacitated. I have a comfortable life, with a caring husband and daughter.Allow you to tell your story freely and completely.Encourage you to describe and process your feelings and reactions as they have changed over time.

Afterall, of the two of them, he is the one who thanks you.
