And the sister and fiance (leter husband) will be having the new children? Later the brother and a fiancee as well, I suppose.

My Family: Be Warned, story of abuse withinYeah. The story below was taken from my family on a DF board, but the name of the fiance has been changed because I don't know what will happen with him.2010
Just twelve years ago, the Wahlberg family was the stereotypical "perfect" family. They had three children, and at almost 6, just turned 4, and 2 1/2, the kids were just close enough to be best buddies. But as that fateful year of 1998 progressed for the Wahlbergs, the good times ended. Just three days before Sam's third birthday, Mr. Wahlberg died in a horrific car accident. The children, fortunately, had not been in the car, but Mrs. Wahlberg had, and it had left her with significant damage to her body and a shattered since of hope. Over the next several years she went through many boyfriends, and had a daughter with a man who left her, just several days after the birth, when he found out the baby had been a girl. Soon after the boyfriend left, Mrs. Wahlberg began drinking. Whenever she was drunk she would often leave them children alone. In late December of 2002, while she was pregnant again, Mrs. Wahlberg married a man she had just met. He wasn't the father of her child but he had promised her he would care for her and her growing amount of children, and he did, right until Joshua was born. When the Mrs. was still in the hospital, the abuse began. At first it was just a few slaps, here and there, when he was very angry, but not much later it developed into something much worse. At the age of 11, Joseph didn't know what to do. At the time, he believed the abuse was only happening to him, so he began spending nights sleeping in the back of his mother's car. His mother never saw the abuse that was happening to him and he never told her, because he thought his stepfather was making her happy. Just a few days after Lily was born, he found out that his stepfather had been hurting his sisters. Joseph came to that revelation when he found hand shaped bruises, where his stepdad had help Katie down.
