10. Oh, I agree, but it was still a failure on the fathers part.

You don't agree to a settlement that says "I'll tell nobody", and then start telling your family members. If you want to be able to tell your family members, you need to negotiate an agreement that says "I'll tell nobody outside my immediate family". A settlement is a legal agreement, and you shouldn't accept a settlement that imposes terms you can't live with.

If you agree to an absolute confidentiality clause that you have no intention of sticking to, then it's your own fault if you get nailed for violating it.
