Hi Nettie, Glad that you are here at AS. It is good to meet you. Kate

Hi Sandie, Welcome to AS. Trust after child sexual abuse is a tough and difficult thing to do. Give it some time and as you heal, you will find it. Also please remember that trust is earned, we don't have to trust others, they need to prove that they are trustworthy to us. I feel the same way about crying. It takes many survivors a long time to get to crying. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate

Hi Holly, Welcome back. Glad you are working on healing once again. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate

Hi Windy, Welcome to AS. Yeah healing has a way of letting us know we need to focus on it. So sorry that you are dealing with so much. I understand about wanting it to be better and working on it and yet wanting to keep a semblance of ordinary life going as well. Good luck to you and good and healing thoughts to you as well. Kate

Hi Moon, Good for you. Welcome to AS. No one really works on healing every day, so don't worry too much about that. It is okay to get off the interstate and have lunch, so to speak, every once in a while. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate

Hi, I wanted to add that there is a book that I have heard about, but not read, by Patricia Eastel called "Real Women, Real Pain." Good healing to you. Kate

Hi, I'm sorry for what you have gone through. I understand what you are saying, as many states do not recognize rape as being possible in a marriage as female consent is always considered given at all times, under all circumstances, but some states do not, thank goodness and it is a crime. I know that there are other members here who will be able to relate. Glad that you are here. Stay safe and keep healing. Kate

Hi, Welcome to AS. Glad that you are here. I think that you will find that is it fairly common to be scared of posting, even those who can post right away are usually scared. I know that I was. This is a nice healing place and I am hoping you can continue posting, as it does bring healing. Kate

Hi Kitanah, Yes it sounds like you are a survivor. It only takes one incident of sexual abuse for someone to be victimized and to be a survivor. I hope that you can find the help that you need here. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate
