The first person I told about what happened when I was young was my best friend but when I told her it seemed to make her uncomfortable and she quickly changed the subject after that I only told one other person and that's because she was telling my about what happened to her.

The first person I told about my gang rape when I was 19 was a male friend but I didn't really tell him anything. He just knew the minute he looked at me. He knew I was going to that party and he was the one who asked me not to go but I went instead. When he saw me next morning I kept trying not to look at him but once our eyes locked it was like he read my mind. He's been my friend ever since and still is to this day.
 
The first person I confided in was my cousin, who was raised with me on and off. I could not carry it any more. I made her swear that she would not tell anyone. I do not remember her reaction, but a huge weight was lifted from me. I think about a year passed before she broke down and told my grandma, who then called my mother. Then the authority's were called.
 
The first person I confided in was my therapist. I have serious trust issues so I picked someone who could not say anything about it.
 
The first person I told about the second issue was my cousin, about the first it was a priest I knew really well, he was kind, told me it wasn´t my mistake, that I will probably need help... but I stopped communicating after that, I though he would not love me after he know that and think it was my fault (of course he didn´t, but I did think it all my life...) But this spring I told everything to a man I fell in love with, we became really close friends since (although there won´t be any relationship) and I let him take me to see a psychologist and I started therapy, with his support I was able to tell it to my parents...
