Sexual abuse

[Crystal7547]

Hi.  I was diagnosed with severe depression about 3 years ago, but I still have not moved passed it.  This year has been a really bad year, like unlucky or something, so much bad stuff has happened to me and my father, who I think is depressed and has anxiety disorders.  The thing is, a couple of months ago, I was sexually abused by my father and the way I dealt with it was by not thinking about it at all.  I've been on Cymbalta for about 3 months, but I still get depressed and really sometimes think life is not worth living. So I went to the school counselor and she said I had to go to counseling, with my father, and that I should report this incident to the police.  But I love my father, it's weird, during the summer I went to Vegas alone, and I missed him, even after what happened.  IHe's the only one that's been there for me in the past because my mothers rejects me. I'm supposed to go to counseling next week, but I don't know whether to bring the topic about being sexually abused or not because I don't want them to report the incident.  I don't know if they have the obligation to, even though I'm no longer a minor.  It would make me feel a lot worse if the incident weren't reported; I don't understand why this happened, my father is a good person, and after I left from the school counselor, I felt a lot worse.  So I really don't know what to do....This just sort of eats away at me, not knowing what to do. I would be okay to talk about the sexual abuse during counseling if I knew that there would be no repercussions for my father.
