Sean's blog #2
Well I saved a previous blog that I wrote but I'm not sure how I retreive it to publish it? I don't know so anyway, to make a long blog short, todays' class made me really sad. I come from a very strong family (or so I thought), but I have let myself fall astray (at least I think that it is my fault?). I haven't talked to any family members about anything substantial for a long time, and there is so much to discuss. Where do I start?

Sean's Blog #1
I have a relationship in my life that came to mind as Dr. Hollist spoke about Attachment Theory on Tuesday. This person had a twin sister and a brother and another older sister. As they were growing up, the brother sexually assaulted his twin sisters, one of which became pregnant. Being from a small community her parents just had the impregnated twin get an abortion. Nothing was said to anyone. No counseling, no legal ramifications. After all they were a well respected family in their community.
While the twins grew into beautiful women, the raped child lead a life of drugged rebellon engaging in by leading a party style life. The other twin married and had 3 beautiful children which she raised with a husband to be (so far as we know) healthy in both emotionally and physically.
Soon the twin that was leading a fairly radical insane life was diagnosed with cancer and died. The other twin (who had been leading such the opposite life style than her sister), soon started having affairs which eventually lead to the divorce of her first husband and the affair ended as well.
Over time this twin still living reconciled with her husband and they decided to get remarried, maybe for the children's sake? Soon after being a at home housemother all her kids were grown. She took on a job with a small company, that had few employees. She immediately attached herself to one of the men and started an affair with him. This really made her husband mad! He divorced her again.
This latest man was a shy 52 year old virgin, which she liked. The affair would last 7 years, until she changed jobs and met a new man that would satisfy her sense of self esteem, but not her emotional or other needs.
He was also 52 years old and held a top position with a public institution that paid him well. He also going through a divorce and he was a player, going from woman to woman. The surviving twin was one of his women, she instantly feel in love. She went home to tell her parents and when she returned she found him with another woman.
I think that there are some attachment issues in this blog. Is it the fact that she was raped by a brother? Is it that she was a twin being raped? Was it the fact that her sister got pregnant and aborted a fetus? Maybe it was a guilt that her sister died after leading such a rebellious life? Was the sister the way she was because she was raped? Has this left this woman wanting to hurt the men in her life emotionally? There are so many questions I would love to hear some responses. Thanks, Sean
