Hi Petunia,
If my T had pushed me as hard as yours did I would have walked out and never gone back. I denied sexual abuse for years and the only way I finally disclosed it was to write it down and let her read it.
As you said your T probably was asking because he felt he needed to, but I think he should have realized how uncomfortable you were and backed off right away, not after asking for the third time.
Personally I would not be comfortable with your T's style, but I can understand if you want to give it another try with some firm boundaries. Just make sure you state those boundaries up front and tell him to back off on pressing you for details on sexual abuse.
Let us know what you decide and welcome to babble.
