When I was a young teenager a family member abused me & my family all expressed disbelief & made me keep quiet.
It has been over 10 years now since the abuser died, & I have successfully gotten past the abuse - and some of my family members have come around apologetically.
My problem is, my entire family, even the ones who have expressed that they believed me all along, find ways to bring up the abuser in everyday, random conversation with me.
He has been dead for over 10 years & he was not a significant person in my life. Yet, every time I'm talking to any of them, it never fails, they will bring up his name or just randomly relate something to him.
When they speak of him I immediately stop the conversation & let them know I don't want to hear his name anymore. It ruins every family function & holiday for me the moment someone mentions his name. I immediately remember all of the abuse & what everyone else did to me because of it.
