Hello @Confusednotokay, welcome to After Silence. I feel sure that you will find support and understanding here. We are all survivors of sexual violence and we will be able to relate to your story, nobody will blame you. You were not to blame. Please take your time and look around the forums and I feel you will soon be aware that many of us also feel confused and very much not okay. here I hope that you will find what you need to help you heal from what has happened to you

Hi @Zoe F. Welcome to the AS forum. I am sorry that you have been through such a difficult situation with your partner. I am also sorry that you didn't get support from your 'friends'.

Thank you for offering support, this will be needed and appreciated.

I am pretty sure I will be the oldest person here, I am 72, but if there is anyone near to me in age, it would be really nice to know that I am not the only one. I have come back because I have been feeling angry and weepy and I think it's because my present physical s
