myself, I never told at age 9 because it was my stepfather, we had money and a big home and other than this a good life and for some strange reason, thought I causes this and didn't want to mess this up for my mother. They divorced when I was 14. thankgod.....and he moved far away...
When I did finally tell at age 20 when he was attempting to take custody of my 9 year old stepsister, I told my mom, who didn't believe me till my grandmother told my mom that my stepdad had attempted to molest her.
Incest was not spoken of back in the 70's. My moms lawyers told his lawyers and he backed off my sisters custody battle but the Statue of limitations had lapsed so he got away with it... but he will rot in hell one day, I am sure of that...Hopefully die slowly and painfully
