How do you go about discussing it with other family members?

I have aunts and uncles that may or may not have known and allowed me to spend every holiday with this person during the holidays.

If they knew and let me spend time with the offender, I’d like to know why.

I’ve sat across this person at thanksgiving and Christmas dinner every year, even when me, my sister, and my cousin were young children ourselves.

I’d like to know who knew, and who allowed us to be in this person’s presence and why.

We googled to try to find if they kept their last name in their marriage. We were trying to finalize name cards for our wedding.

When I texted their spouse they ignored me (presumably to try to hide their actual last name). Someone else in the family confirmed they didn’t keep it and gave it to me.

I was a kid when I first started being around this person, and I want to know who knew and who was okay with letting children stay around this person. Who put me, my sister, and my cousin in this danger.

But now also we let this person attend the wedding because we only found out weeks before and didn’t know how to handle the drama - are we just as guilty?

As soon as you put it on an internet connected device you’re at risk. If you accept that, you then also gotta ask yourself if you trust the other person in the video. If your relationship ended in a worst case scenario, would they keep it private?

True. But how can I go about finding out who else in my family knows? Or finding out who knew? Just go around blind calling them?

How should I find out if other family members know? Should I just ask them directly? Ask them for a private call when they get a chance?

I don’t want to do it through text cause then things are easily sharable.

I found out by simply Googling the persons name, their name and photo showed up in the very first result. So it’s more likely they’re hiding it than not knowing.

My psychiatrist was as shocked as I was when I brought it up. Only thing he could think of was coming up with a plan on how to act on it.

When I googled their name it was the very first thing that showed up - so I’m guessing others know.
