Somewhere back there someone said something about their sibling resenting the straight experience. mine sure did. Well at least we still talk with each other now -- some families have literally been torn apart thanks to straight. When I/we first found these boards, one hell of a lot of resentment came up on her part. How the program interfered with her life, school, the fucked-up sibling raps, the looming threat of potentially getting put into the program herself...all of this came to the surface all of a sudden, and there wasn't all that much understanding on her part about what it was to be brainwashed and how that person really wasn't the 'me' that we all used to know. I hope this helps. Since then there has been a bit more of an understanding, so maybe time heals all wounds eventually.
