When I was 17 my girlfriend told me about the abuse she suffered as a child...... the best advice I can give you, based on my experience, is to prepare him in advance. Do not just sit him down & drop this bombshell on him. Tell him you have to talk about your past, tell him there is something specific & that its bad. Also, make sure you have plenty of privacy & time for the discussion as it's going to be highly emotional. I hope it goes ok.
