      @Rin-wm7hr 6 месяцев назад +33

      I don't think he's necessarily bisexual (it would be perfectly fine if he was), I think he's gay but his wife is his exception. Sexuality is such a spectrum but I know of someone who's experienced this same thing and now that she's married to a man (who she loves with her whole heart and has a kid with) everyone tries to say that her being a lesbian was just a phase. But she says she'd be with a women if she wasn't with her husband, he's the only man she's been with and the only man she's ever been attracted to. Sexuality can just be tricky like that and it makes many people upset to see these situations because it means we don't all fit perfectly under different labels. Humans don't like ambiguity but the human experience is the epitome of ambiguous.

    The women in the story about getting married and letting her niece wear whatever she wanted rocks. She invited her niece to be a bridesmaid for the sake of getting to know her. She obviously cares about her family and devloping a healthy relationship with her fiances family.

      @@nackolas123 it's a tricky thing to navigate when step kids are involved. Whether people will outright admit it, step kids are often the cause of divorce in second marriages, be it directly or indirectly. He shouldn't leave all the burden on the mom by any means, but he's giving the daughter and family their space to grieve and accept him at their own pace. That's already miles better than most. A childs age, how close they were with the parents, disciplinary styles, etc. It's complicated either way. If it's genuine, it remains to be seen whether he did the right thing. Sometimes kids actually appreciate boundaries and rules that in the moment they despised. Seems to be working for them at the moment though.

    I find it truly baffling where the older brother, who's taking care of his siblings, got his strength, maturity and moral conviction from. Clearly not from the parents or any other adults in their life. And the fact that OP is able to see the sacrifice shows extreme maturity too. I feel like this shows that we as humans don't come into the world as uncarved, blank blocks but that we're born with a personality and knowledge that, with very special people, can persevere even if they're born into incredible hardship.

      I think some people use caring for others as a coping strategy. Protecting his siblings probably gave his pain a sense of meaning to him, and gave him a sense of control over the abuse. Plus, if he ever dealt with suicidal thoughts, knowing they depended on him would've helped him find a reason to keep living. I wouldn't be surprised if OP and her younger siblings helped him more than they know, by needing him to help them.

      A part of me also wonder if since it seems alcohol was a big part in the abuse, if the parents weren't always that bad and might have been more "themselves" when he was a small child so they managed to lay some early groundwork? But that might be way off.

    That one about the big brother who made sacrifices for the younger kids had me crying. I was the oldest drawing fire away from the littles and trying to shield them from the abuse. We're all out now but that story just brought up all those feelings.
    For any other younger siblings like OP, I'll say this from the eldest's POV: We're so glad we were there to protect you. And in a lot of ways, you younger siblings saved us, too, because having you to focus on and love and plan a future for kept us from sinking into despair. It's saves us to focus on taking care of you. We love you so much and we want nothing more than for you to not experience what we did.
    If you want to repay us...you really don't need to. Just love him, be a family with him, and most of all, go live a good life that's your own. That's what all this sacrifice was for--so you could be happy, and free.
    I wish all the best to those kids and to any other survivors.

    I just want to say, Thomas, you expressing appreciation for this - without shaming the person for how long it took to communicate - is so meaningful to me. I struggle to bring up sensitive, vulnerable, and charged topics or feelings, and I feel extremely reassured that struggling with that is not abnormal, and that speaking in these situations is important and necessary even if it takes me a long time and a lot of emotional turmoil to do so. I've had different relationship situations where I was either encouraged for speaking because my partner knew how challenging it was for me, or berated for how long I took to bring something up and, by waiting so long, creating my own problems (different partner, now an ex). So I just want to say thank you so much for being one of the encouragers. It matters a lot. ❤️

      Yeah, its so hard sometimes to fully describe my sexuality because its complicated. I always felt wrong for never really being able to label it. Even now its not entirely defined. I'm so glad his wife in the story was able to look past all the labels and understand that he loves and is attracted to her regardless of his other preferences.

      Yes!!!!! Sexuality is a spectrum, and gender is a social construct! Label if it gives you comfort, but if it doesn't, change it or just be what you're feeling! Especially with gender, because it's been invented by us. You don't have to fit into a box, and nothing is binary ❤ Don't feel embarrassed because you learned more about yourself!
