Ummm... Confrontation - been there. Not what I wanted but was what I expected -

I had this ideal dream of telling and then there would be the tv version of everyone crying and hugging and I'm sorrys and so forth. But good thing I prepared because the reality was I got swore at, threated with physical harm not short of my death, threats of arrest and commitment to a state mental ward for I was crazy for making suck rediculas allegations to my family let alone the whole and surrounding areas that I lived in. It took close to two years for it to settle down enough for any degree of safety for me.

years Before I actually disclosed I had made plans to do so.

How I prepared was using the book the courage to heal Disclosure and confrontations chapter on pages 144-159 in the textbook and in the workbook the Breaking silence chapter on pages 234-255.

My therapist at the time I made my decision also worked with me on all kinds of role play situations that could possibly happen.

My advise work on the worst possible scenerio and if you can handle that with your therapist you can handle anything that your abusers will say to you from their denying it to name calling and threats but hop[efully the end result for you will be the rarely happens situation of appology and so on.

Good luck and take care.
