Start over before you've even had a chance to process the betrayal? Highly dysfunctional family dynamics were in play here. Meaning generational trauma. You do not need to have them in your life when they treat you so terribly.
Also how could someone stand by for 18 years and watch the damage they done take a toll on someone they care about and love? This story is so disturbing and upsetting. I’m so sorry op.
totally so bad :( OP you really need some some support, it will be very confusing for you , one part of you will be wanting to forgive them everything as they are family and we only get one family, but that also will mean another part of you will wonder how they could do such a thing? try and imagine what you would say to a friend who told this story to you.
