I have approached them and every time, I am wronged. I'm wronged for telling anyone about it, I'm wronged for getting help...nothing I can do is right. The one time that my mother did acknowledge that it happened, she told me they I needed to accept they the babysitting was "experimenting". I'm sure that my siblings know what happened but I have never talked to them in depth about what happened out of fear of what my parents would say, now that I'm an adult, I feel like it's a lost cause because I never talked to them (siblings) about it ever. I've never told my aunts, uncles, or grandparents for the same reason, I was never allowed to speak of it. I can't explain the hurt that I've felt, most of my family just thinks I'm too good for them when I have good reasons and my parents lead them to believe just that just to save their reputation.

Why are you giving them all this power??? YOU decide who to tell, what to tell, and when. YOU hold the power, not them. And since you are so powerful, I suggest you use it wisely and sparingly. It will definitely cause a huge eruption if you begin to talk about it, but I think it will bring you closure - from a therapeutic standpoint it can bring you peace. If you stay calm and dignified about relating the bare bones of your experiences, people will trust you. Don't concern yourself at all with what your parents will say and do. You know they will try to sabotage you. To be more believable than they are, don't criticize them in any way - actually don't talk about them at all. You will appear to be the bigger person.
