Minimal, if any therapy, was received by my other siblings. Then, my other brother, age 6, said that he didn't want to talk about it. Then, my cousin said that he used to come over to her house when her dad wasn't home and asked if he could be her first kiss. My sister, age 8, then came forward and said that 'T' had also been molesting her ever since she could remember. My brother, a minor himself, went into counseling. The family friend was indicted by a grand jury, and then a few days later shot himself before standing trial. 'T' told everyone about how this family friend had been 'raping' him for years. she had somehow connected all the dots already. This was when I was 18, the other two brothers were 10 and 12 at the time.

It was found out by my mother (divorced from my father) who walked in on two of my other brothers engaged in fellatio. He would come over and they would get so sloshed together that this friend would end up spending the night. This friend had been one of our dad's drinking buddies. When I was 18, I found out that my brother (I'll call him 'T') had been sexually abused for years by a family friend.
