That is so wierd that I am reading your post today. I just had a conversation

with my sister today about the same sort of thing.  My sister was the one that

got isolated the most, I think because she is 7 years younger than we are and

was left alone with her from about age 10.  We moved out of state and really

separated ourselves in a large degree from both of them.  Anytime mom found out

that we had been communicating there seemed to be trouble.   It caused distrust

in me towards my sister, and she felt so alone in the situation that when she

would reach out to me I think I felt so much guilt and fear that I was always

guarded and rather distant.  We also have been separated from our aunt and

uncle.  She would get so suspicious that we were talking about her or some such

mess that I stopped communicating with them completely.  I love them dearly and

do miss them.  I also felt that they would just as soon avoid me too to keep the

peace.  Maybe

my imagination.   I feel a new confidence that I will learn how to deal with

all of this.  I have committed myself to be honest with all of family and to

trust them.  I will eventually learn to handle situations as they arise with my

nada.  I just want to see the rest of us heal and grow now that we understand

what is going on.
