So this is pretty raw and only happened last night.

For reference I've been going to therapy and I think my partner was already wondering what it was about.

I was sexually abused by my brother from he ages of 8 - 11 and it's something I've never told anyone until therapy.

Last night we were watching Monsters and if you've seen it there is a bit that goes into abuse.

I didn't think I showed too much emotion but I just have because my partner asked if I was okay but obviously it's really hard to discuss.

After a while I told her about it in a simple manner and as soon as I did I felt completely numb. I couldn't look at her and I couldn't even look in the mirror.

She reassured me that she loves me and would do anything for me but today I've been a nervous wreck at work and for some reason the shame and what I said makes me feel like she'll feel differently about me.

I guess I was just wanting to see if anyone else has gone through something similar and how to cope with it all.
