Simon,
I know exactly how it feels to have no one to go to in the family. When my family found out I was raped (they didnt hear it from me), it was like I wasnt a member of the family anymore, and Im 13. Then my parents thought I staged it just so I could get more attention. So after they started treating me like that I went and stayed with a very close friend. After she turned around on me also, i went back to face my family. And I told them straight up everything I needed to tell them. It felt good just to tell them the truth in my perspective. So all in all it turned out better than it could have been. My family still wont talk to me, but it could be worse.
I hope in all my blabing you found some kind of support, that is what Im trying to give!
Take good care,
