Hi Valis,

And may I welcome you to the forums,

From looking at you bio, it looks as though you are an intellegent person, as you are in college etc. And
being in college is a step towards your independence.

This 'may' be the time in your life that you may have to start breaking away from the person, or persons who have caused your pain. You see, you will probably never change 'their' ways, and 'their' ways of thinking, but, You can change your way of thinking and your own life. Does that make sence?
Perhaps you can look at this as going to a doctor for lets say having a sprained ankle. You might not tell everyone about your ankle, and or how you sprained it, and you can seek medical attention on your own.
Same as with seeking a Therapist, only a different part of your body is effected. Your T will, or should be able to guide you in the right step, and maybe he or she will actually suggest you not mention anything to any family members until you are further along in your treatment.
Sincerely, and I wish you the best,
