I had trouble discussing CSA and it just felt awkward. I found out that it was easier for me to simply ask questions about how children dont really fully understand what it means when they are young. What that did is got him discussing the topic itself, I heard how much he knew about it and it also allowed me to add my own experience into the mix lightly. It opened a safe door for me and a good path to discuss my issues away from the memories of a very troubled child. If I remember I opened the topic up by discussing something troubling I had read here and how different people struggle with looking back as an adult verses what they viewed as a child.

I am still working on addressing that part of my past and at least now he is recognizing that.
