I am glad you are telling this stuff to Dan. Also, remember is initial reaction maybe one of defense and anger. That's what immature people to. Don't let that deterr you as you will have given him something to think about differently.
I would leave out the filing part or D part. You've already told him your stance on that, no need to say it again. I would really like Dan to see this thing as seperate. I don't know if I am making any sense.... but this is crucial.
I am proud Bobbi Jo that you have finally been honest with yourself and if it was that hard for you, imagine how hard it will be for him. This needed to brought out in the open. It so explains Dan's actions 100 percent. I know this is probably the hardest thing you have done was to admit it, but now that it is out in the open .... your healing will begin.
No more secrets....
Love and Hugs and Blessings,
