Have any of you talked to/confronted your abusers? Especially if it was a biological father or brother?

Question

TW some brief mentions of CSA and COCSA

I was abused by my biological father from age 6-15 and by two bio brothers from 10-12.

I am 26 now, and have two half-sisters (currently almost 16 and 12 — whom I haven’t seen in 11 years) who still live with my biological father and stepmonster.

I have wanted to contact my stepmonster for years to get in touch with my sisters again since I am finally mentally in a place where I feel like I could handle seeing her again and fighting to see my sisters, but I never did because I was afraid she would force me to see him/he would come out to see me instead of her.

I never wanted to see my biological father again, but now I actually feel like I have so many things I want to say to him.

I just don’t know if it is smart to do. I have had extensive trauma therapy and I am writing a book about my experiences and how I healed from it and came out above, but I am still worried.

I was hoping to hear from peoples experiences, both good and bad, to kind of see what I could expect from him, from me, from it all.

Thank you for reading
