Yesterday I learned about the ways my niece was abused as a child. Often, usually, with my sister watching and/or participating.
Please God let this cycle end.

I’m so sorry this has happened. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh shit. I’m so sorry to hear this.

And now you know *why* your sister was so willing to deny that you’d been abused.
Also, YOU have broken the cycle of abuse, and your niece has a major resource for breaking the cycle in her own life that you didn’t have. She has someone who believes her and who has broken the cycle herself in her family–you.
Oh wow. I’m glad you’re as strong as you are, and I hope it turns out she has a good deal of strength too – for her own sake, and so she doesn’t have to use up all of yours.
