This poor girl has been in a family that has allowed sexual abuse and incest and made her feel responsible for it. They are textbook examples of abusers. She needs to break the cycle and report it, at least to a counselor who would understand and know what to do and help her through it.

Her sisters may not be all that sympathetic if they are in denial like their father and may want to protect them. We don't know the whole situation, so it is best for her to approach a counselor first.
