Should I Tell My Daddy That His Brother Raped Me?

I am not going to beat about the bush in narrating what started when I was just 12 years old.

My dad has an only brother who my siblings and I looked up to. He was such a nice and uncle who always brought treats for us anytime he came visiting. He was very strict nonetheless, so we were sure never to cross our boundaries with him.


Whenever mum and dad had somewhere to go together, rather than leaving us alone, Uncle Sunny was always asked to come baby sit us. I am the oldest of all the kids. One day, while mum and dad where away, Uncle made sure we all went to bed early. While I was sleeping, Uncle Junior came to the room, woke me up and took me to the living room. The TV was on, and porn was showing. My uncle made me watch and of course, I became wet. He touched my budding breasts. He didn’t penetrate me that night but he touched and excited my body.

This touching of body parts continued anytime Uncle Junior got the chance to. He would touch me whenever he had the opportunity and there was no one watching. He finally got his way to penetrate me when I was 16. Yes, my father’s precious brother had sex with me and my parents never got to find out.

I got into University and went out of control. I got into a lot of trouble and kept late nights which led to me failing my exams. I was labelled a rebel as I became the bad egg. I was always so unhappy and angry. I’m 26 years old now and still feel the pain while my uncle went off to get married.

I want to put everything behind me but to do that, I think I need to confront my uncle and tell my dad. I know this could destroy their relationship for ever and the blame would be all on me. So I ask, should I tell my dad or not?
