At the beginning of 2009, my dad explained the situation to his relatives.
Though his brother already knew about it (because he is married to my mom's youngest brother's sister-in-law), he proceeded to tell all his sisters.
I soon was having conversations with my dad's eldest sister on the phone. A lot of the time, it felt that she was just trying to understand what happened. She even asked me if I wanted to try to press charges - not something that I was necessarily thinking of at all.
But, I appreciated what she and my other aunt's were going through.
It felt great to finally have that whole side of my family know. Only time will tell how they will be able to deal with it, but so far it all feels better.
