She I want you to repeat that back to me. Like you were talking to him. I however couldnt do that. Its too triggering. It reminds me of when little kids tell on there abusers I cant handle that yucky feeling it gives me inside. I really do think she has good intentions but sometimes she seems flakey.

She, most likely, does have good intentions. It's not her intentions I am concerned about, but, mostly, her judgment.
To be fair to her, she is dealing with a challenging situation here. If you were a kid, it'd be easier because then she'd be required to report your father to the police and the CPS. But you are not a kid. So, she can't report what's happening. She can only work with you on finding ways for you to protect yourself without complicating the situation further given that you don't live independently. But talking to your family is a very bad idea IMO.
I don't know if she ever asked you if your father has any access to children. She should've asked, and if he does happen to be around children, that would allow her to report him to CPS.
