I have been in an internal struggle for a good long while about whether or not to report my stepfather for what he did to me. My nightmares haven't gotten any easier, they are getting worse and all centre around this one thing. I don't think I will get closure until I do it.

I'm scared about losing my mother, she is still with him as I have mentioned before and she gives my husband and myself no end of financial support. I can't help but feel she will withdraw from me completely for putting her through this. But I have had twenty years of misery and hurt because of him and he is walking round scot free, respected and admired. I can't do it anymore. I am scared and I don't know if I will have the strength to go through it or if I will even be believed or get the outcome I want...but I have to try don't I?
