Silver, I so agree with NWTR, you have gone beyond regaining your composure. You are being very level headed about this now. I like your idea of talking it over with your T and possibly setting up a joint meeting with your parents. Have you ever discussed this with your aunt, getting together and making a plan for exposing him? There are others who he abused too. When you were 16 you were sedated and you couldn't protect yourself. Plus you are at a completely different place now than when you were 16. You are empowered now! I am so glad that you see the value of facing things rather than running . Running keeps you scared and gives you the message that you are powerless. Facing things gives the message that you have power and facing things decreases fear. Good work!
