I don't know why, but I told her that there had been a fire and I was in a hotel for a month and was stressed about the repairs getting finished on time. She asked if my husband got out okay and for some reason I just blurted out that he was in jail and started crying. We found a room and I told her the whole story, including that he was abusive and that I had a restraining order against him, but now I'm wishing I hadn't done any of that. Why did I have to air all my dirty laundry? What is wrong with me?
NP, there's nothing wrong with you. You're hurting & you're carrying around the burden of knowing what happened at your home, what happened with your H and what he did to you.
There's nothing wrong with airing this things - I think it's necessary. In fact, I think it was very brave of you to talk.

I hope this person will be prove worthy of your trust & be supportive towards you. You deserve it.
