How do I introduce C.I. to my siblings?

[topknot]

Any suggestions how I might effectively/carefully recommend that my siblings look into covert incest and consider whether or not it was/is a part of their lives?

I have a strong feeling my mother made every one of my siblings her surrogate partner at one point. We're all 4+ years apart and when one of us left home, she had ample time to focus on each successive child.

There is a lot of symptomatic behavior amongst our group, but I'm in no position to diagnose.

Publicly, the others are fiercely protective of her...even more so now that I've ended my relationship with her. But, secretly, I think they're tired of her. She has been plaguing everyone with her antics for decades.

So, any suggestions of how to introduce the topic? I'm imagining the word "incest" will make them defensive.

I have wracked my brains over this too.

One of my sisters is not talking to me or my other sister, and the other one recoiled and did not want to "go there" after *she* directly asked me about me and my mother, and I told her about it.

I am coming to terms with the fact that neither of them are at this point willing or even capable of dealing with this. Superficially "keeping in touch" might be the maximum extend of our relationship in the foreseeable future. Makes me feel a bit lonely. But frees up resources I was pouring into trying to deepen the relationship.
