Hi Blossums An excellent post. TO ALL MODS When I first found AS my mind was on how do I work this computer, what are the rules, what do I post and where, will I cope with reading and responding to others, will I be triggered. I am ashamed to say I never gave the mods a thought. But as I start to heal [here anyway - perhaps not in the real world yet] I have come to appreciate what all you mods do. This site wouldn't work without survivors [and secondary survivors] posting. Their support and love is an important part of this site and I have said thank you many times and had thank yous s

Hi dolphin A warm welcome to AS from the other side of the world. Bayler

When I started to read these posts I had a panic attack. I was very worried about upsetting people so felt I couldn't post what I felt.

Hi MysteryBounty Welcome to AS. I am sorry to hear about your girlfriend and what she went through and the pain it must cause both of you. I hope this site helps you as your post has already helped me. It is comforting to know there are some men out there that are so supportive. Bayler
