He told me fairly early on and surprisingly it helped me open up to him faster than I have with t’s in my past. I never went into abuse specifics with my last t in ca at all. My long my term t, it took me at least 7 years to even remotely get into it with him. I have told current t a lot fairly quickly because what he and I went through have a lot of parelells in terms of age it happened, the feelings of shame etc. I thought his self disclosure would feel intrusive but it did not.
Thanks for this!
