@Moonchilde, those kind of abuse "secrets" came out in my family when my dad was 84 or 85. I rejected the abuse as a young girl, but my older brother and sister did not. When my dad found out about it, he wanted to go to my uncle's (by marriage) grave and dynamite his remains to smithereens. I fortunately reasoned with him. Thankfully, those secrets aren't kept as much today. Or, maybe I should say it appears more child predators are outed.

 

Those kind of secrets should NEVER be kept secret. The damage the adults go through hearing about it is nothing compared to the children who have endured it.

I keep my painful secrets to myself because they are my insecurities that I don't have trust enough to reveal..I don't even like to think about them myself.

There are secrets about myself I will take to the grave , I know my husband does not share things with me so I don't feel dishonest about it. If someone tells me something in confidence I would not betray them.

I feel it's unjust to make accusations against anyone who is no longer alive to deny, defend themselves, face their accuser.

@LilacTree  I do keep secrets very well, and I also think I would not tell my SO every little bit about me.
