I think T's understand how difficult some things are to discuss, and how some memories or experiences get shoved so far away or down or whatever, that it's almost impossible to discuss them in our "unaltered" state and sometimes it takes lowered inhibitions to get the information out there. I did it by writing a story in the third person - as if it were happening to someone else. You did it with a drunk text. The point is, the information is finally out there and you can start dealing with it. In the long run, this is a good thing, I think. Hang in there.
No one dies of embarrassment, by the way. I was almost positive that I would several times, having to go back and face T after telling him agonizingly difficult things. I went, and it seems to be working out. I think I am much healthier than I used to be.

Thanks. I needed to hear something like that. ( Also that no one dies of embarrassment) Needed to be reminded of that

Great that you feel healthier. I like the way, without knowing the details, of how you got the information out there, by writing a story in third person. Wouldn´t have crossed my mind.
