Hello everyone, I originally joined After Silence in 2008, and I realized that I need support in my life. Badly. I left my ex-boyfriend last year, entered a domestic violence shelter, and currently dealing with an ongoing criminal case for rape and domestic violence. Last year in August, I completed a rape exam. I don't know if this will help, but I am supposed to have another police interview coming up end of this month. Sometimes it helps being around people who understand what it feels like.

Hello, Not hundred percent positive where to put this, but I was just hoping to talk to someone? Anything really. I don't know, need an outlet. Thanks, appreciate it. I.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. I know the feeling, and perhaps I need to take a little bit of the medicine, but not everyone is bad. It's a big world out there, sometimes we see the rough parts of it but there is good there too. I.

Hello, Well, first thing I will say is congratulations. You took gigantic step, and you should be proud of yourself. I don't know how it feels for men, but I'm sure with societies pressure upon them that its harder for a man when he was abused. Men are supposed to be the strong ones, the ones who are the protectors and so forth, its weak if a man cries.. personally I think its a load of horse manure. Can't say the other word We all feel embarrassed and we all feel small at times but you arent weak. You shouldnt feel ashamed, you have nothing to be ashamed of. For some they freez

Hello, My heart goes out to both of you. I'm sorry to hear that, and yes I did Lonely. Sorry about that! Vanish, don't you have anyone in your family who you can trust?? Or a person to talk to, if you are at all close to me, I'm more than willing to be there to help you. I.

Hello, I thought of something, and was hoping if someone could answer it. This is pretty much to all, not just survivors but also to those who are in the family of survivors. My first question was more directed to the survivors, unless family knows how to answer it, the gender that abused (everything - rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse) you.. are you still able to be near people of that gender? Are you able to hug them, stand near them, without the fear of being revolted? For females who were abused by women, how are you in regards to being able to be a female? Females who were abused b

Hello, Being optimistic is a good thing, well, we are all our own people. I'm glad that your husband is there for you, he sounds like a good man. I hope all is well and if you ever need someone to talk to, know I'm there! I.

Hello, Glad to hear that, and I'm sorry for what you went through. I hope all is well now, If you ever need an ear, I'm there. I.

hey, Well, I am sorry to hear that, don't be afraid so much. Life is so short and even when we deal with certain things, sometimes we have reason to be afraid, but dont let it take you down. I.

Hello, I'm glad to hear that, and I hope it happens for you. It isn't your fault, and i hope that you will realize that. I wish you the best of luck. I.

Thank you, I appreciate it, and thank you especially to the mother who replied but part of me has already accepted that I am at fault. I just want people to not feel what I felt whenever I told, I'd rather give a hand. There's nothing one can change, you have to accept certain things and thats all you can do.

Hello, Good to hear and hope all is well. I.

Hey, Well, would you like to talk about it? Sometimes it helps when you just have a person listen rather than say they are listening but aren't really or could give a sh*t. Anyway, if you need an ear, i would kindly give it. I.

hey, im sorry to hear that, and if you need an ear, its there. I.

Hello, Well, sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you can make a friend again soon. Hope all is well and hope you find what you are looking for. I.
