My own nerves led me to eat all of the latter.

Hopefully Hubby will recover in a day or two. I asked him if he is psychologically up for the big trip. He said yes. I suppose I am, and yet I feel slightly numb. Last night, I had a talk about Hubby, and myself, with my husband's nephew. Hubby was already in bed at that time. I feel I may have said too much and too personal of things, but what's said is said. Perhaps I needed to get it out to someone other than my therapist. However, that nephew has a history of gossiping/talking behind backs, sometimes in critical ways. Oh well! I'll have to just trust that he cares enough to treat my opening up with respect. If not, it's my mistake. I think a trigger voiced by another nephew (brother of one I mentioned) is what made me open up so much. I needed a release.

Yes, there's always the chance that confidentiality will be breached when talking with anyone except a therapist or a priest . I hope that, as you say, your husband's nephew is honored that you trusted him and will keep his mouth shut.

One of my nieces and I have always been close. The first time we met "as adults" (she's 14 years younger than I am) I told her that I would never betray her confidence; what she and I discuss stays between us. To this day she knows she can trust me. It's good for both of us.
