Hi Lac, Thanks. It is so nice to hear from you. Hope to see you around the boards. Kate

Hi Kelly, Thanks. It is good to hear from you too. Kate

Hi John, Thanks for the welcome. I like your photo. It is intriguing. Kate

Hi sisterinsurvival, Thanks for the welcome. Kate

Hi Molly, Glad to hear from you here. Kate

Hi All, Sorry I haven't been around much for months due to not being able to afford to get my computer repaired. But I am back online once again at home and so happy. Hope to meet up with members once again. Good and healing thoughts to all. Kate

Hi, It sounds like you are in a hard situation. I would tell, I think, cause there doesn't seem to be another way out of this. This person is sexually abusing you. In no way is this a consensual relationship. Blackmailing someone for sex is abuse and a crime. It is even worse that it is someone who is supposed to be lawabiding and protective of others. Please stay safe and take care of yourself. You deserve to be safe. I hope that this will soon be resolved. Kate

Hi Tealady, Welcome to AS. It is nice to meet you. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate

Hi, Glad you are here and can share with us. This is hard stuff and it takes a lot of bravery to share. I think that a better way of describing what you are sharing is sexual acting out. Many young survivors do that. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate

Hi, Here is a link to the Dissociation and Dissociative Identity thread that I started some time ago in the research and information forum. It has some links to several online groups for multiples. http://www.aftersilence.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22956 Kate

Yes. Deal with that all the time with my family. Hugs to us all. Kate

Hi, Welcome to AS. I know that you are feeling alone and helpless. But you are not alone. And you are not helpless since you have skills to find a support forum and to speak up and post. Please keep doing this. Kate

Hi, Welcome to AS. Good for you for working on healing. Kate

Hi S Marie, Welcome to AS. I'm sorry for what you have had to deal with and what is going on now. I know how hard it is knowing that an abuser may be alive out there. I have gone through that as well and been very upset about it all. I'm glad that you are here and are working on healing. Good for you. Kate

Hi, Welcome to AS. I agree with Lac about trust and how it is built up over time with people who respect our boundaries and who continue to show us with their actions that they are trustworthy. It takes time and respect. Good for you. It sounds like you are trying to work on that, give it time and effort. Kate
