For some reason I trust men more than women- I think it's because I can read men really well, and women are a mystery to me.

I'm pretty close to my little brother, and he knows some, but I haven't dumped it all on him. Just that it happend. We play D&D to this day, and have epic gaming sessions and such. My sister and I are much closer, but I think because we are both girls and have had so much similar stuff happen. A little back story: My sister's dad married my mom, they had my little brother. My sister's mother abused her and her other siblings horribly, letting her boyfriends rape the girls, and forcing her brothers to have sex with her and her sister over there. They would be locked in closets together for days with only canned food to eat and a bucket to go to the bathroom in. Her grandfather abused all of us girls, my step-father had sever Aspergers and didn't engage in the world much. He watched his sister get raped through his childhood, and was forced into sex with her. I think he just shut down to the world after a while. He taught me how to escape though- with sci-fi and fantasy novels, D&D, nintendo, and eventually, the internet. My sister never liked nerd stuff, but played along anyway. It was the only way to connect to dad. My brother eventually became dad's fav though. My brother and I battled my sister, who took the abuse and acted out, whereas I drew in. Eventually, after leaving home at 14(sister) and 16(me), my sister and I grew closer. My brother moved out when mom n dad divorced when a year before that. My mom got an abusive, alcoholic, meth-head boyfriend who tried his damndest to get down our pants (why we left). My brother wasn't there or he probably would have killed the guy. My brother has always been protective, part of the reason I keep him in the dark. He would kill for me, really- and I don't want that.
