I was molested 3 times by one of my uncles when i was barely 15 and didn’t even understand that such a thing even exists. I told my mum about it after the 3rd time but she told me to not discuss about it with anyone coz it might hamper familial relations and my uncle’s relation with his wife. His wife was my mother’s sister. So I kept quiet. My mother ensured that i am never alone in his company. But no one confronted him ever. Now o am 36. The uncle is long dead. But i am still traumatised by what the younger me had to go through. I don’t think the haunting feeling will ever Leave me. It also strained my relationship with my mother because when i grew up i felt she should have given him a piece of mind.
So i think you should definitely take whatever action you feel will make you comfortable. It can even be unmasking his deeds in front of all family members and making him apologise to you and beg you for forgiveness
