@Ghostly Lilian, Hi, I'm Kate, I enjoy fantasy, fiction and writing a ton too. I went to college for human services and psychology. Recently I haven't been on AS due to a lot of struggles with depression and anxiety but I'm trying to get back to it. I have found a lot of support here. I hope with time, you'll find that comparing ones trauma to others isn't helpful. When I've been to support groups and first started on AS I felt much the same way.

Hi, I'm Kate, if it is permitted, i would like to say that, as a child whose parents enacted corporal punishment, i would not call it abuse. I knew the rules of my parents' home and i disobeyed them.

Thank you!

Thanks, i joined another site similar to this one a couple days ago. it's called Survivors Chat. It might be another good resource for others.

Hi, I'm Kate. I am a R**, sexual abuse, and two time attempted suicide survivor.(although that is a weird miracle in itself as G** was not willing to let my attempts even work). This little lady loves to read. I use it as an escape from the reality of my own world. I especially sink in to fantasy and mystery novels; some of those being, Harry Potter, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Lord of The Rings, as well as many others. I enjoy hiking, kayaking and watching TV shows on Netflix. I used to think i;d grow up and be a poet or an author. I was discouraged though after a relat
