Re: Family Relationships
Incest is very tricky to deal with. It usually isnt so much about the morality of doing good or evil ... the incest taboo is common in many cultures to protect our genes and the people involved ... it may provide a short term reward, a sense of togetherness in a hostile world, but the complications are difficult to resolve.
Sex is between the 2 people involved.
My sister came to me to try and stop her incestuous relationship with my brother ... we talked it through a lot ... I could not hate her or him ... I understood we were all isolated and vulnerable ... your friend might not believe she is worthy or attractive enough to have a relationship with another male ... it is different when it is siblings ... the father is more in the wrong than the confused daughter ... it is very sad.
Be as much of a friend as you can ... be there for her if she can stop it ... if she decided she wants to ... it wont always be nice for her ... and then maybe she will need to talk about it with a counsellor ...
You have to you though ... and be honest when she is sharing with you.

Re: Family Relationships
Hi @Catherine,
This sounds concerning. Wanting to have sexual affairs with a family member may be part of broader issue. Trying to understand what this issue is may be helpful. How long has she felt like this? Are they having a relationship?
It's great she's talking to you about it. To me, it says there's a level of trust there. With her knowing that is this is not right, and her talking about this with you suggests that she might be trying to work through some stuff. Do you know if she is speaking to anyone else about this?
