beta  I'm so sorry to hear about this, it reminds me a lot of my own situation.
My family is also in denial, what's worse is that the trauma they do admit they blame on me saying I deserved it or try to minimize it by saying that what happened is not that traumatic. Denial is a common tactic of abusers and only serve to protect their own fragile egos.
What helped me a lot was reading this book "From Anger to Forgiveness: A practical guide to breaking the negative power of anger and achieving reconciliation" they give lots of good advice on what to do in your situation. Hope this helps.
