I've been doing my best trying to recover from complex PTSD triggered by years of abuse by an older brother but I'm having a really hard time not just giving up. My family were my strongest support network but most of them still have a relationship with him and it's making it hard to feel like I can stay close with them when he's made no effort to change and there have been no repercussions for what he did. I just feel so alone and hurt and angry. It sucks that I'm the one who's been left to deal with the fallout.
