It's all going to be alright, it is just a bad moment. Take it easy. Try to do something you enjoy to get your mind off. Feeling sad is absolutely fine. You can do this!

@kiryoku I am really sorry for what happened. It was not your fault and he had no right to do that. I can relate to your partner making you feel guilty, because so did mine when I confronted him. What he was doing in front of the kids is simply inappropriate. I can also relate to freezing, which has caused a lot of confusion to me. I couldn't believe a person I loved so much and who supposedly loved me back could hurt me in such a way. Also I felt like the more I protested the more he liked it. So I just sat there, feeling like my opinion didn't matter, like my voice was not heard. Maybe if I

Hello Ellowynn and welcome to AS I am sorry for your trauma, but I hope you heal. This is a very supportive environment.

Welcome to AS!

I thought you loved me.

Hi! Welcome to AS I am sorry for what brings you here, but glad you have started your healing journey. I recently joined as well and it is a very supportive community.

Thank you so much!! It has been really helpful already

Thank you for understanding strong2long. It makes me fell less alone. I am sorry you went through something similar

Hello Brunetta, I am a newbie as well This seems like a safe space to address these issues. Healing is not a straightforward process. Sometimes you may feel like you are taking steps back by denying the abuse. But it is all part of healing and ultimately you will get there. I am sorry you went through that. You didn't deserve it, but what you do deserve is to feel better I experience denial at times. It makes things easier I guess. Yet, overall it doesn't help healing. In my opinion, accepting that the abuse happened and finding a way to move forward with your life is what helps the mos

Hello everyone, I recently joined AS to help myself heal as I don't have a support system in real life. I figured that maybe communicating with other survivors who have been through similar stuff could help me feel better and maybe figure out my life. I was sexually abused by my ex-partner when I was a teenager. It caused me significant pain but somehow I found the strength and the coping mechanisms to move. I met a wonderful guy, who is currently my partner. I never thought that person could hurt me. Yet, he did. He forced himself on me when he knew I wasn't up for it. So he basically ra
