Childhood Feeling Exposed

[SinkorSwim]

So I spilled the beans to my therapist about all of my issues of past childhood sexual assault. My husband and I don't have the greatest relationship right now and he has turned to drinking to help his stress. I sat down with him this past week and told him that I don't trust him. That was the hardest thing to say ever. Right now I am having trouble grounding myself at home and every time he comes home from work I just want to run away from him. I called my therapist yesterday and she told me to try grounding myself with my puppies. She also said that I can go in for an extra session on Monday. I would love too but I am too afraid about missing work.

Can you tell your husband it has nothing to do with him (if it's just processing related issue, timely, the kind of 'all men are a predator', thing that comes with rape memories... instead of something that's a trust issue between you two)?

I imagine him drinking doesn't very much help with either trust or, much more needed at this time, communication.

Sorry you're in a difficult spot right now.
