Is it bad if I dont tell the rest of my family about my sexual abuse/rape experience and who it was? Only my sisters, dad, and aunt know...should I tell my close cousins 2 and the rest of my family???

Yes. What are you afraid of? That the guy who did it will come after you or something? The police can protect you from that. And other than that, I don't see what you would be afraid of. I mean, your family will help you get through it. Tell them.

If the possibility that he's still out there doing this to others doesn't concern you, don't tell - if it does and you want to see justice done, tell - your choice...I wish you the best !!

Such things should never be kept secret. It's not good for you.
If no one ever kept it secret, I dont think that 1 in 8 children would be abused- do you?

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT PERSONAL THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ELSE, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY TOLD PEOPLE THAT WILL BE SUPPORTING TO YOU. UNLESS, THE PERSON THAT DID THIS IS STILL AROUND THE FAMILY AND COULD HURT SOMEONE ELSE, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ELSE IF YOU DON'T WANT TOO. IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO TELL SOMEONE(LIKE YOUR FATHER) WHO COULD HELP TAKE SOME LEAGLE ACTION AGAINST THIS PERSON, BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

U don't have to if you don't want to. As long as you have told somebody responsible that can help and as I can c you have told a lot, it's not really necessary for you to disclose such personal info unless you want to. It may be good they mite b able 2 offer you sum more closure

ahh it is a private matter of yours. but if he could do this to someone else or a diff fam member it needs to stop. also he needs to stop doing it to you. it's wrong. who I would tell would depend on who the person is that did it. did your dad/sisters/or aunt do any thing to stop this? hope so! I'm not trying to be mean, I dunno if your close to your mom or if shes around,but if your close to her,you should always tell your mom about this kinda stuff.
