Experience I have been a holistic health therapist for a total of over 15 years, specializing in anxiety-phobia, trauma release work.
Question I am a 51 year old married male. My sister (who is 5 years older) recently informed me that I molested her many times starting from the age of 19. She was married at the time. She has also accused me of molesting my now deceased sister who was 2.5 years older than me.
I have very good recall to a young age and I psychologicaly know that these claims are untrue. However, coping with the idea that my own sister could be so devious/sick/evil, etc. - whatever it takes to make up such accusations if kind of mind boggling.
I have helped raise three stephchildren (three of which are girls) and my wife thinks my sister is a very sick person.
My question. Have you ever known of cases where a person will lie to this extent to make their sibling look wrong to their mother and other members of their family?
Thank you,
Stephen Branch
Answer Stephen, these are, of course, most difficult situations to deal with. Your sister could be suffering from some kind of mental illness or perhaps she was molested by someone else way earlier in her life and is confusing the facts as she has gotten older.
I don't know about the family dynamics of your sisters and yourself, so it is hard to say if there is some kernal of truth to her accusations about being molested (not by you)
or if she is suffering from some kind of breakdown. Based on your reported history with your wife and step-children, if you had tendencies for molestation, they would have been acted out with them and this has not been the case, as you report.
Something is certainly driving her emotional state, that's for sure. We recommend a non-traditional approach for healing through the EFT work. This could be beneficial for all members of your family in this circumstance, as well as being a usefull tool for "life" in general.
Go to the www.emofree.com site and download the EFT manual for free. It will give you a step-by-step explanation of the technique and also lists practitioners who might be in your area for direct assistance.
The direct answer to your question is that I have heard similar kinds of stories in the past, which may or may not have a basis in fact. Surely, your sister needs help in one form or the other. EFT is effective in cases of actual molestation trauma and for those who experience associated trauma from having to deal with these kinds of accusations.
