So a couple of weeks ago my stepdad was looking for Christmas decorations and he happened to stumble across my stash of diapers. I feel bad because I lied to him and told him that I was having bedtime issues and he was completely understanding and supporting in the matter.
Last night though I was out drinking with my friends and I didn't want to take the restraints off my bed so i threw a couple thicks sheets over it to conceal it. He had his girlfriend over and since I was out he wanted to grab an extra pillow for his girlfriend so he went into my room and picked it up and voila he saw the restraint system I had on my bed.
He brought it up with me when he got home tonight. I really didn't tell him much about it, just told him my feelings and what not, but I didn't tell him I was into bondage. He knows I've been through a lot the last decade. I lost my mother (his wife) in a tragic accident in 2002 when I was in high school. My birthdad has been in and out of mental institutions since I was born. He is on so many meds right now he hardly recognizes me. I was in the armed services and I lost my good friend in Iraq, to make matters worse I had gotten in an argument with him and 10 minutes later a mortar hit the building we were in and he died on the spot even though I tried to save him. It still bothers me that he died with me being angry at him. I used to cut myself until I got into bondage which IMHO i find as healthy alternative to cutting.
I don't know what I should do, I really want to tell him, it's really hard though. But he has been supportive this whole time. I've been seeing a therapist as well and I don't have any intention of tell her any of this, but I've ben taking anti-depressants to help me out. I don't want him to worry about me though.
Give me your input.
