Thanks everybody... it's so helpful to see what others have done!

I think I'll bring my writing with me, but start out talking about my concerns about hurting him, and see how he reacts. Then I can leave the option to hand it over. I hope it's not too terrible

Silent Void - oh no! I'm so sorry that your therapist was bored with what you had written. Wow... what a terrible moment. Was it a lot of writing? I'm hoping to just pull out the bits he needs to know, and to keep it short (since I don't want him trying to read *too* much while I'm sitting there waiting!)

JaneTennison1 - Wow - that sounds like the letter was so helpful! I'm glad to hear it, thanks for sharing!

OneTree - thanks! I'm so glad to hear it worked and she was able to understand more!

Miguels'smom - "I am 100% better at writing then speaking." - Me too! Glad to hear it helped... how did she react when you hurt her? Was it hard to get past?

ThisWayOut - Thanks for sharing! I understand completely what you mean by rewriting it to sound like something you need help with. I'm usually really good with that, but I'm not sure I should do that here... since I'm trying to figure out how to show more of the "real" me versus the "polite, social" me. Rewriting is definitely very much social me . I think it might work to just start talking about the issues first... then if he seems ok, let him maybe read it. And yeah, I wouldn't plan to read this out loud... but I think I could manage to sit and wait while he reads it. I *think*...

Thanks!!!
