Not a surprise. Glad you can now say it. Two or three of my older sisters (I had five sisters) were abused, raped, by my mother's sister's husband. They hold those memories with disgust. Once in a while they talk about them. The man died relatively young so he never had to pay the piper, but when my mother found out she confronted her sister and their relationship was never the same after that because the woman would not acknowledge it, couldn't face her husband's perfidy, chose to believe that the girls were lying. What girl could make up something like that?
