I'm glad you told him, but you don't have to go there every time. Maybe it's a lot better to have days when you forget, when you have good times, and feel close in a warmer, more accepted way.
Why not? trauma isn't everything. it isn't even pretending no trauma-- it's enjoy the parts of you, which are many, that aren't defined, or limited, or touched by the trauma.
He should understand that-- I hope-- and let you be carefree-- gives space to parts of you to grow that aren't in trauma, & new things to flourish.
