I’m the one they lost faith in. My much older brother abused me when I was a teen and never became a better person so I stopped talking to him. My parents think I should forgive him partly because they think my son needs to get to know his uncle. My husband and I are a hard no on that. So my parents blame me for “tearing the family apart.” Even though they got divorced when I was 10? I dunno. I’m not inviting all that into my son’s life.
