I was sexually abused by my uncle, my mothers younger brother when I was 8 years old. I never told anyone despite this happening for almost 2 years. He was living with us at the time. He later stopped by the time I was 10 and has started to show signs of puberty. Im sure he was scared he would impregnant me. By the time I was in secondary school I was already sexually active and became known as the girl who would open her legs for anybody. Thankfully all that changed when I got born again in Year 1 at university. I became a church worker and that was how i met my hubby. We dated all through university and later got married but while he knew I was not a virgin I never told him about my childhood and my sexual life in the past. My uncle has left the country a long time ago and moved to the US but he recently came home and I saw him at a family function. I could not believe that this man was now married with daughters of his own. Seeing him there brought back the ordeal I went through as a child and I began to fear for his daughters. For the first time I told my mother and she called me a liar that it wasnt possible and that if it was true why did I not talk since then, my mother confronted her brother he denied it and to cut the long story short everything became very messy. Hubby knew I was having some issues with my family but I never told him the real truth. But my fear now is that since members of my family now know he will somehow get to hear about it. I am now thinking more and more about telling him. I feel like there is a whole part of my life and of me that he knows nothing about yet we have been dating and married for almost 8 years. Does it make any sense to tell him? I am scared and dont know how he will react when he finds out. What would you do if you were me?
