Dear New Member~
I'd like to welcome you here to the support forum. It can be a good place to come to as if you look around you will find many who have had to cope with similar situations. Such horrible expereices do need support and advice. I'm sorry they happened to you and your sister.
Please excuse me for being blunt however if you go to the police with an approximately 20 year old allegation it will be a most unpleasant experience where not only will you have to describe what happened, but it may be in a hostile environment and you will appear to disbelieved or have unexpected facets of your life take as proof the allegation is in doubt.
Incidentally that 20 years is not in the least unusual. Memories and distress caused by abuse may take many years to come to the front
The only strenght to your case is your sister is in the same position, and even that could be questioned too.
I'm sorry to sound discouraging, however stats show only a fraction of cases go before the courts, and of those many are found not to be be proven to legal standards. It is not a course for the sensitive to undertake wihtout realizing these things.
Can I suggest you (and maybe your sister) contact the Blue Knot Foundation - if you have not already done so - as they have information and counceling for persons in your situation.
You know you are welcome here any time
Croix
