You are not acting like a child, you are acting like a woman who has had her childhood stolen and is brave enough to heal herself! Yes, tell your therapist that you're feeling a little betrayed by him. It is his job to support you in all aspects of your emotional life and you don't have to protect him from anything. As far as feeling like he's known something had happened to you from the beginning, that is not at all unusual. But you needed to get there on your own. It's not something you can just spring on someone who is not ready to confront it. I'm also glad that you can talk to your sister about it. She can probably be your greatest ally in the healing process. I also know of an online support group through MSN if you're interested. One of my best friends is an incest survivor and it really helped her get through the tough times. Please keep me posted on how you're doing. We're all rooting for you!
