  1. Hi @Achelois, I am sorry for what brings you to a site like this, but I am glad you found AS and have taken the step of reaching out.  I don’t know what happened to you, but I know there are many reasons why we sometimes don’t know what has happened to us until much later.

     I hope you find the support you are looking for as you steer through the challenge of knowing. This is a friendly community.

  2. Welcome to After Silence!  It’s a caring and friendly place, and I am glad you are reaching out to others who understand the kinds of struggles you face, as you reach for further healing.  Your photograph is beautiful.  

  3. @Diara Welcome to After Silence. I'm very sorry for what has brought you here, and I'm also glad you have found this place and reached out to find some support.  It does take a while to get to know the site, so take your time and feel free to post questions about things you don't understand.  There is a lot here, so don't worry about covering everything, and pace yourself so that it feels right to you.  I think you will find you are not alone in the after effects of what you have gone through, and there is lots of support to be had.

  4. @Ro_91 Welcome to After Silence. I’m sorry you were subjected to trauma as a child and adult.  I’m glad you have found this site which can be a great source of support and information and knowing we are none of us alone.

  5. Welcome to After Silence. I'm sorry for what happened to you and how it has affected you all these years.  I think we start different steps of healing when we are ready.  This is a caring place, and I'm glad you are already feeling that.  You're not alone in having the effects seep in to your life, I think that is the nature of these traumas, and that is not your fault.  I wish you the best as you step further into your healing.

  6. Hi Mimity, 

    I want to welcome you to AS.  I'm sorry you are plagued by images and pain.  I think you will find people here who understand what you are going through and hopefully ease the way. I think your wish to smile and mean it is a beautiful one, and I think you will get there.

  7. Welcome, Two of Us.  I'm sorry that both of you suffered trauma.  I'm glad you found this forum and I think you will find it to be warm, supportive and helpful.  I believe any healing work a mother does will help her children, so I think you will be helping your daughter just by being here opening things up for yourself.

    My best wishes to you both.

  8. Welcome back, brokenchild, I'm glad you remembered where you found warm support, and I hope you will find what you need here, and that it helps with the PTSD youa re currently suffering from.  I do think support and community can make a big difference.

  9. @VLX600 Welcome to After Silence.  I'm sorry you experienced trauma, but I am glad you're seeking support.  I also find it makes a huge difference to be in contact with others who have experienced similar things.  And along the healing path there have been numerous times I am glad to find others who understand the particulars.  I hope your therapist keeps being a help as well.

  10. @Here2Heal Welcome to AS!  I'm sorry you are in a difficult phase with your healing and a resurgence of PTSD.  Having a primary relationship in distress is challenging even without PTSD, and I can understand why your emergency responses are back in full force.  I'm glad you have a friend to stay with, and you are right that this is a caring a supportive community, so I hope it can help provide you with some more support right now to help you through.

  11. Welcome, @HelenX!  Glad to have you here.  I'm happy you found this supportive site to help you with your next steps in healing from your experiences.  I'm sorry you need a place like this, but I hope it will help.

  12. Welcome @Rian, it's nice to have you here.  I'm sorry for your struggles and for what brings you here.  It is a very supportive place, and I hope people here can help you, by listening and providing a safe space for anything you want to share, or just by being here.
