I told my husband bits and pieces before our relationship got physical... then as yrs went on I would tell him more bits and pieces, but he still does not know all... We did have some issues earlier in our marriage regarding this topic...

I hate being asked the question about how many ppl I have had sex with b/c for some reason I feel like I am suppose to include the experiences with abusers ... So my response is usually... willingly 2 .... Or when I first had sex.... my response is usually: willingly 16....

I didnt tell my parents until last summer, at age 35 about being sexual abused over approx a ten yr span... I didnt b/c two were family members and 4 were known and I knew my dad would probably kill them literally b/c of the mind set he was in back then... I didnt want to upset the family or cause anymore stress for myself... I was in survial mode and just wanted to get thru the next day... I am not sure that I even knew that it was wrong so to speak but I knew I didnt like it....

I felt very alone, but knew one day I would be free from the control those pple had over me....
