and then

my baby sister e-mails me.

she still seems to have close ties to my step-father (her dad).

now what?

if she needs my help, sure.

or is this a trap?

Whose idea was it to fit me with this family, that I cannot shake no matter?

If you're concerned about it being a trap, then you can't put yourself into helping, even if that's what she really wants (trust me, I know). Unless I'm mistaken, I think your conscience is asking you to ignore her. There are plenty of other people in the world who need you (potentially and actually). Remember your convictions.

Thanks guys....she's 21, but still evidently under her father's thumb, which is a horrible place to be. I was there and it took me hella long to get out. Then the guilt descended because I left my little (then) brother and sister behind, in his clutches and have had nightmares ever since because of it.

I think that I want to help, that I need to somehow, and have to in order to clear my conscience.

I wrote an e-mail, through an anon account, and told her the rules: that if there was any funny biz, that was that and forget anything ever again, so there's my convictions tempered with an outreached arm. I know others need me, and I've always tried to help them, but these are the only people in my life that I feel I have betrayed, my only true regret. Though there was no solution at the time to that, one has just presented itself.

We'll see how it plays out.
