I exposed my cousin for sexually assaulting me and ‘ruined’ his life.

Hello everyone before I start with the story please don't make fun of my sexual assault or anything because it's something personal and hurts me. I hope you all understand.I (18f) was sexually assaulted by my cousin(21m) as a child, I was 14, and he was 17. I was in denial for many years but finally accepted it happened. I told my parents about it, but they weren’t supportive and told me not to cause a drama because he was young when he did it. My parents' comments broke my heart, but it clearly showed me how toxic they are.So there’s this trend on TikTok where you pose as the person who sexually assaulted you. And my best friend suggested I do that. I really wanted to humiliate him so yeah I did it. Well, the video blew up, and he was harassed on Instagram by many people. I left his Instagram account. Someone who went to his university saw my video and reported it to the management. They kicked him out of the university and cancelled his scholarship. Some girls who were assaulted by him came forward with their stories too.My family members (including relatives) are mad at me for ruining his life. They want me to apologise and tell his management that I lied for attention. I was against that idea, and my parents threatened to disown me. I honestly don’t care about them. That cousin and his family members are also harassing me for doing this. My parents kicked me out of the house, and I’m living with my boyfriend now. My friends, boyfriend and siblings are supporting me. My siblings even threatened my parents to leave me alone, or they would go no contact with them. My parents are pissed now because I ruined my cousin’s life and also ruining their relationship with my siblings. Relatives that I barely know are also harassing me.What do I do? All I did was to stand up for myself.Edit 1: wow this post blew up. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for your kind words and support. It is honestly so refreshing and heartwarming to see strangers supporting me. Thanks for the awards. Many of you all called me a hero, and I'm honestly speechless and very grateful. I would like to explain some things that I left out.I talked to my parents about this issue, but they disregarded it because my parents care more about family bonds. My mom told me to stop embarrassing myself by bringing up my story and forced me to attend family functions. He was still treated like a king by my parents, but I was mistreated. My parents told me that my bf would leave me if he knows this story because it was ‘disgusting’ and I was too afraid to tell him in the beginning. But he was very supportive and loved me even after I opened up. My parents also refused to give me therapy. I had no other choice because my own parents weren’t supportive of me, and I wanted to protect the little cousins I had.I didn’t post the video on TikTok for fame or attention. I posted it to ruin his life. He ruined mine, where i could not seek any help and was always hated my self, but he was still happy had everything and even acted as nothing happened. And like most of you all said many girls were also victims, and the video gave them the strength to open up.for people asking me to explain how he sexually assaulted me- fuck you all!if you think it’s fake I honestly don’t know what to tell.I am not sure about the police report. But I would consider that and meet up with the other girls and talk about it.As for now, I’m really happy with my bf and friends. I would definitely meet up with a therapist for my mental health.Again thank you very much, everyone. I love you all❤️ thank you for reaching out and sharing you all’s experience too. I’m crying cause I feel like maybe I don’t deserve this support and this is my first time hearing all these kind words. Thank you very much. via /r/relationship_advice https://ift.tt/2PWUIWn
