Dealing with scars if questions asked
I was wondering the other day..
I mean I don't take much notice of my scars anymore, theyre part of who I am, but I was wondering, cos I havent had a boyfriend since stopping SI, would I tell them about the past 5 years, or just the last year, or just that "it's in the past"..
I'd like to be honest with a boyfriend, but I like to feel like i've moved on from that so is it really necessary to tell them if they ask?
I also had quite a horrible thought, one that my first boyfriend brought up 2 years ago, when talking about his very big self inflicted scar, he said "what will I tell my kids when they ask how I got it?"
I can't imagine what I will say when faced with that question, will my scars STILL be there even? I mean, surely telling them I did it to myself, they might try it themselves?
It just scared me.
I'd just like to know other people's experience of this...
Have you got children? What would you say?
What about with boyfriends after your recovery?
