I think it's a shame that he contacted you because you were better off not knowing about this.

I will try my best to offer some advice.

What happened, happened. And it was quite some time ago. You've moved on with your life and I think it's best to try to continue that trend. Don't allow yourself to get caught up over this. The power is yours.

If he had a "heavy heart", there's a good chance he told you about what he did because it has been eating away at him all this time and he feels bad about it. So now he has been honest with you. Of course, it doesn't really help you any, so I think it might be worth you getting some outside help by speaking to a counsellor.

It's understandable that this news has made you feel vulnerable, but he is long gone and cannot harm you any more. I know it must all seem very real to you, but what is keeping you up at night are just thoughts. You are safe now.
