It was a difficult time. I really don't want to go into details about my experience.

I'd suggest you have some kind of backup. If you choose to do it in person, have a trusted friend with you. Or, if you choose to do it by phone, have a trusted friend on another line listening. Recording the conversation would be beneficial. (You could use the recording to help you in a counseling session or maybe in court.)

Define for yourself reasons why you want to confront. Later, after you've confronted, you can reflect back and see how you accomplished your goals and see how doing so has helped you.

When and if you confront . . . realize that person will be in the defensive. His/her denials and/or apologizes will all be an attempt at sympathy from you. Remember, you are not responsible for his/her feelings.
