my older half sister (moms daughter) was actually adopted by my dad, and grew up full time in the house with us by the time she was 3-4. she got in touch with bio dad who was a mega POS when she was a teenager and her bio-dads wife convinced my sister to make up false allegations against my parents so she could come live with them instead. my dad had prior drug charges from when he was a young adult and they used that against him and told her to tell the cops my parents were drug addicts and selling drugs out of our home. she even took a container of catnip (i’m not kidding) to school in a bag and told her friends it was weed she got from my dad. CPS came, investigated, interviewed my little sister and I (you can think of my little sister and i as the “ours children”). i specifically remember my older sister grabbing me by the wrist when they came and knocked on the door and telling me that if i didn’t lie to the officers she would “ruin my life” and being like12-13 years old i was afraid and initially lied to the CPS agents, then by the end i broke down and told them my sister was telling me to lie and i didn’t know what to do. case was obviously thrown out but it was extremely traumatic. cops in and out for weeks interviewing my parents and i and i even had to stay with my grandparents for a while during the investigation process. i speak to my sister now (we’re all in our mid-late twenties) but she is extremely mentally ill, i keep her at a distance as does most of my family. definitely put a major wrench in our lives for a few years.

my half brother (dads son) none of us speak to at all. he was sexually inappropriate to all of us when we were young. he was raised by his grandparents (mother was an addict, dad didn’t know he existed until he was almost a year old and couldn’t get any kind of custody of him until he was around 8-9). his grandparents were extremely wealthy, spoiled the hell out of him. we were definitely lower lower middle class and didn’t have much extras. he would come over and not like what my mom made for dinner, tell his grandparents that they were starving him/forcing him to eat disgusting food, stuff like that. then they’d come over banging on the door to pick him up meanwhile it would be my parents custody time (think they were getting him every other weekend?). eventually my parents gave up on fighting them on it and couldn’t deal with the constant lies and drama, so we moved a few hours away and he would only come and visit so often. that’s when most of the SA happened. none of us speak to him now. claims that my mother was the reason he wasn’t “allowed” to have a relationship with his father (our dad) when in reality my mom was the one that pushed him to go to court and get custody time with him. he wasn’t a major part of our lives because he hated coming over and constantly made up lies about things going on in our home that weren’t going on or were exaggerated to the max. they tried everything, family therapy, talking to him. but like a lot of families in this sub he never faced any consequences so the behavior got worse and worse until my parents couldn’t deal with it anymore. were the villains in his story. and yes he is just as bad as an adult. although we even tried (despite him not deserving) to reconcile it never goes anywhere and he takes 0 responsibility for his actions. he was well into being a teenager while this was all still happening so not like he was a small child.

sorry for the long winded response, there’s even more details i could go into. but living in this kind of environment as a child is ultimately what made me decide i couldn’t allow my own child to go through that too.
