I'm not really new but it has been over a year since I last posted here and the first time I have logged in for a long time. I guess I had hoped that by not acknowledging it I could make it go away again but, alas, that has not proved to be true at all. So....hey again, everyone.
Welcome Ayla, I am sorry for what has brought you here but am glad you found us. I hope you find it to be a safe, welcoming community like I have. As someone who has, and still does at times, tell myself that "it could have been worse" I think it is single handedly one of the worst things to hear or say to yourself. Things can always be worse but that does not mean it isn't already difficult to deal with or that we don't have a right to be upset about it. Hope we can all support you on your journey
Heh, do what I do, assume EVERYTHING will have a rape or abuse or suicide scene in it, because in my experience lately, fucking EVERYTHING does :/ What book were you listening to?
It's called, "The Life We Bury." I normally do assume that, but this one came out of nowhere and not from the direction I was expecting it. I should stop listening to the book as it is hard on my levels for me but I have a thing about finishing what I have started...
Welcome to the forums. As others have said this is an incredibly welcoming community and you will find a lot of support here. You are definitely not alone.
Welcome to AS, alleekat. I was half terrified to join and post the first time but I have found it to be a very welcoming community and I hope you do as well.
