You and Trace are right and I should be more open. The guy I speak to wants me to be honest and he's really trying to encourage me to do so. Honesty means I have to deal with it. All of it.
How the guy puts it, "Might as well tell because forgetting isn't going to happen for any of us again. We've long passed that point. Only way out is to deal with it now."
He makes a fine point and so do you two. I've always just been really stubborn. I'll probably read off from this thread to him on Monday.

I'm glad that I was able to help. I'm glad you are going to let him know. By letting him know through handing him a piece of paper with the general facts, or reading to him from this post, you've let him know where you are, then you can dig in slowly. It will take time and patience, but just the fact that he will know is a major step and a major accomplishment.
