Abused

guest

My boyfriend asked me what was wrong. So I started talking vaguely about how I was stressed about my past abuse. He said that with trauma he suffered in the Army he just doesn't think about because the past is in the past. I don't talk about it to him or tell him what happened to me because I don't want him to think of me differently. But I really want to talk about some of things that happened to me. I want him to know all of me. But my therapist doesn't think normal people can handle some of the things that happened to me. (Along the lines of severe abuse and torture). But he says that it's stupid I don't want to talk about it because he'll look at me different because everyone has their issues. Now I feel embarrassed that I even said what little I did.

But some things are really bothering me. And I want to talk. And I only see a therapist once a week. But last week I saw her 3 times. I just don't know if some people can handle the knowledge of what happened to me. And I don't want him to leave me because he's disappointed in me that I stayed for so long. What do I do?
