Glad you're back! Missed you!!!!!
-
Welcome back!!!!!! Sorry you had to come back - I've been in and out for several years. I think it is just part of the process

Welcome! I hope you find AS as helpful in your healing journey as I did. When I first started here there was only one person who knew that I had been abused. She didn't even know ANY details. Now, I have been in therapy for years and have begun the process of sharing my story with her and it has been the most helpful and powerful experience. You can get your life back - it is a matter of how hard you work for it and how badly you want it!

When To Share My Experience With My Own Daughter?
gymnast4191 replied to juliasmom's topic in Public: Welcome!
Not being a mother, but a victim of CSA, I would share with my children. I would for two reasons. (1) I would want to educate them in the manner that these things do happen and they need to be careful and (2) if anything ever were to happen I would want them to feel like they could come to me and I would understand and be able to relate to their pain. -
Welcome to AS! We are certainly glad you found us. I know when I first joined I sat in the background for a while just watching. I didn't post too much - I just observed. Go about this however you find most comfortable. There is no right or wrong way to heal. You've taken a huge step in joining us here. If you have any questions feel free to PM me! I believe a Newbie Support Team Member should be contacting you soon!

Welcome to both of you! A Newbie Support Member will contact you soon. I hope you find comfort in coming to AS

Just introducing myself, formally. I've been on this site for about a month now. My name is Lauren and I am a CSA victim from age 3 - 6. I am 18 and soon to graduate high school - then off to college :D

You're not in control anymore!

I hope you find comfort here. I only discovered the sight over the past weekend. I have found many people who can understand me. It was only 6 months ago that I told my parents what happened to me as a child, and 9 months ago that I told somebody for the first time. I hope you find comfort and are able to tell your story when ready. :hug: :hug: :hug: (if ok)
