I had a 4 hour morning coffee session, with my best friend today. I scheduled it two weeks ago. I sent him a text last week that said:
"I have a riddle to prepare you for the conversation we are going to have on nest Friday.
You cannot text me or message me after you receive this, until we meet on Friday and you tell me what you think its about!"
Then I sent him this:

There's lessons we've learned,
And Friends that we've loved
There's friends that we've had
That aint like the above
So trust who you will
But please guard your heart
I've buried it deep down
But I'm beginning a new start!

When I saw him this morning he said, "Well my guess is that you are having a sex change? Too Far?"
and I told him that he was closer than he thought.
I have been sexually assaulted when I was a teenager for several years!!
and then I dove right in and laid out several of the situations of the rapes. The weak, helpless feelings.
The flashbacks, the pain, the humiliation. He cried along with me and hugged me. then he walked away without saying anything. (we were in his backyard and he just went in the house and left me there)
He returned a few minutes later with a couple of shots of tequila, salt and lime. We licked the salt, threw back the shot, and sucked the lime. Afterward, he said "Damn, If I knew you knew how to pleasure a man, I would have had you teach my wife a few things.... But all joking aside, when are we gonna pay those fuckers back!!! And you told the right guy!! What can I do? I need to how research what I can do to help!!"
I am glad he came back with sarcasm, because had he started it seriously I wouldn't have felt as at ease!!
We talked from 7:40 a.m. til 12:30 p.m. and we cried and joked and he hugged me and just loved me!!

I am exhausted but so happy that I still have him as some moral support. I love him so much more now. He has been there for me through so much.

Thanks for listening!

Wow! So, few of us have a real good friend/brother to confide in about this. I told my best friend and he didn't get weird when I told him.
He was very supportive and not a hint of judgment. Glad you have a supportive friend.

Been there through a lot for me.... Helped me when my marriage was struggling and when my son died ... I was praying I wouldn't get let down. I'm still shaking!!

Glad you did too. I'm still trying to figure things out but now I know I can speak freely. I let him in on some of the abuse. I could see he was getting pissed at my abuser, so I just stopped before he got too upset. But his hug made us both cry!
