[Finally reaching out. Hello, all.]

Welcome Gymrat. I am sorry for the circumstances that brought you here. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. 

[New and need to talk]

Based on what you are saying, I think it is likely that you were drugged. This is a rampant problem. But there is almost no enforcement to combat it. I am sorry this happened to you.  Take care. Recovery is a very long process. 

[Trying to feel better]

I am sorry that you are struggling Justme3. I think it always comes back up. but we don't ever expect it to. take good care of yourself. 

[Victim to Survivor]

Hang in there Tiffany,

You are in a difficult place right now. things will get better .  It just takes time.

Hello and welcome 

[New Here!]

Welcome Iwillstand,

Aniversaries are very difficult.  Be patient with yourself. 

[New secondary survivor]

I am happy you found the site Raincity, 

I think your whole world changes when you have to deal with the abuse of someone you are close to. I am glad to hear that your sister is doing well. Take whatever time you need to come to terms with this. It's a very difficult thing to accept and to move forward from. 

[Feelin' Like it's al over Feelin' like there's no love]

Of course you can't explain it. That's why people use drugs to assault someone.  It's still not your fault.

Welcome, 

West have a very helpful community. I hope you find the support you are looking for. 

[Feelin' Like it's al over Feelin' like there's no love]

I understand and relate to the nightmares. I think they might even be worse with drug facilitated cases.

I think men face more barriers than women do with respect to discussing assault. Nothing about the situation was your fault.  The behavior of your assailants was premeditated and required planning. There is not anything you could have / should have done differently. 

I also agree with Phoenixx. If sometching happen to my partner I would want to know about it. Please take care of yourself.  

[LittlePinkSock saying hi.]

Welcome LittlePinkSock, 

I am veryour sorry for the circumstances that brought you here. This is a good site. I hope you find the support you are in need of.

[Is It Still Assault?]

This is not your fault.  You were clear about what you did, and did not want. He's a selfish ass. 

[I have no idea where to write this...]

Hi Kathryn,

That sounds terrible. I am very sorry you had to call your abusers home. I think "The Aftermath" would be an appropriate forum for this post. I hope that helps. Take care.

[I am only just accepting what happened.]

Welcome to AS Elinor,

Your anger and outrage are justified. I have a cousin with a strong Internet presence. Some of the things that have been written to her and about her online are horrific.  It's appalling that speaking that way to anyone occurs to someone in the first place. I think the offenders feel "safe" to do it because they are anonymous.  But it's never an excuse.  I am very sorry you are dealing with this.

[Emily Doe made me want to talk about it...]
