Struggling to accept my CSA really happened

I came into awareness of my CSA earlier this year. The first few months, I struggled mightily with doubt. Were things that bad? Did they really happen? Am I making a big deal out of nothing? Despite the murkiness of flash memory over decades, it's clear that a sexual thing happened to me when I was 6 or 7. My father, who should have protected me, was instead the antagonist. I've moved past doubt into another hazy space for me: Acceptance. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now -- if anything. I wondered if anyone's gone through this and if they'd be willing to share their stories of working through acceptance. Thank you.
