Why does this pain have to stay for so long?
I was sexually abused and raped by my dad, cousin and uncle. I told , but my mom only told me to tell on my dad. She only believes that my dad did it. She even told me away from my therapist and I have no one to talk to. I have trust problems because all this. I just want this pain to stop.

When your 18 you have to leave home and go see a therapist again. Then tell them whatever you want. You need help to get over it.
But as horrible as this is i think the pains going to be around for a while yet possibly forever. I was abused too (no where near as badly) and sometimes the recollection is enough to send me into fits of furniture assaulting rage even now.
I can't imagine coping with how much worse it had to have been for you or how much stronger the emotion is now.Like (1)

Its going to take time but once you realize that you have so many life experiences ahead of you, you will learn to let go of the past...as long as you take on day at a time the healing process will make you a stronger person :)

This pain will never completely go away. But it can become more tolerable by shifting the experience into an opportunity for healing for everyone involved. By reporting the abuse to the proper authorities, the people who committed these horrible acts against you will be required to get professional help in addressing their actions and in that, what happened to them that caused them to become the abuser. Every abuser was once a victim. It's a cycle. That when properly addressed ends the cycle.
Also, you may find at some point later in life, that you might want to become active as a support person for the abused or better yet, an educator working with people that could be at risk of committing such acts, before it ever happens. To inform them, first hand exactly how it affects a persons life and possibly be a big part of the movement that puts an end to this devastating behavior that is unfortunately common place through out the world.
Your pain may never go away, but sometimes pain is more tolerable when we find ways to keep the pain from ever becoming a part of another beautiful humans life.
The darkness of abuse will always be dark, but darkness dims when exposed to the light.
I too share your pain first hand, and speak to you from a place of knowing.
My heart goes out to you, may you find that you are still brave and pure regardless of others infliction of their own torture.
