I lived with my parents and sibs but never felt like part of the family. I was ok until mother took my little pillow which I needed as my mother surrogate. Then, I started having problems with myself.

Have you ever talked to your siblings about things like this?
No. I only have one left and we are 100s of miles apart. We talk on the phone weekly but I never think to mention my mental illness to her. It’s like, about that, I’m not speaking.

Oh I just thought that maybe you could talk with a sibling about your parents and see what their experiences were like. I thought maybe that could help.
I’ve had some problems with my parents too but I don’t have any siblings to talk to about those issues.
We sibs were well aware of each other so they knew me about as well as anyone did.

I used to beat the crap out of my pillow when I was upset as a kid, really a healthy way to deal with anger
