Just starting out

Is there anyone else out there that is suffering anxiety from their family of origin? I just haven't developed the tools yet to get my family of origin out of my mind even though I no longer live with any of them.

What do you mean?

I came from an abusive household. My sister and I were the only two children (no abuse with us, just my mother). Last year, I got into a minor disagreement with my sister for defending my parents for doing something nice for her and she decided to email my parents telling them that I had major issues with their abusive relationship including IBS. Since then I have developed major anxiety because I had to work up the courage to confront my parents about the abuse and got them to go to counseling in the hopes that my sister would talk to all of us again. (my sister was pregnant at the time of the arguement/email and didn't talk to me or my parents for the duration of the pregnancy). She is now talking to all of us again, but I can't seem to get passed all this anxiety I built up.
