Perhaps you were needing to reveal it, deep inside, but it took a lot of courage and was bringing things back to the surface?
I don't know your situation but I'm thinking of you. Be gentle with yourself. xo

Just based on how I feel now having revealed it, makes me wish I hadn't. She didn't really need to know. We were just talking about some other personal stuff – mostly the things I hope to work through from my past – and I kind of went too far and divulged it. She wanted me to tell details but I couldn't do that.
This person is a relative but has a bad temper and in the past has been verbally abusive, though she's gotten better about it lately. I guess there's a part of me that might be especially scared because I fear she'll end up hurting me because of that.
It's on "the list" of things from my past that I'm going to be addressing, but it's not something I wanted to tackle first. I'm trying to put it back in the box so I can finish what I was doing first. Otherwise it gets too overwhelming.
