Hi @Lily S and welcome to AS! It's a pleasure to meet you, although I am sorry you have reason to be here. This is an absolutely fantastic community filled with equally as fantastic people who all understand what you are dealing with.
Joining us was a big step and indeed a courageous one! Good for you for taking this leap.
Looking forward to getting to know you!
Best wishes.

Hi, @Cheleigh - and a hearty welcome to AS. I'm so sorry to hear of the trauma you endured 10 years ago. It seems that no matter how long ago it was (for me it's been 22 years!) it is something that in part, stays with us forever. So very unfair and breaks my heart every day.
The good news though, is you have found a fantastic, supportive site FILLED with people who truly understand what you are going through and can provide TONS of support! I hope you are able to find peace, comfort and healing here. I know I have, and I look forward to getting to know you better!
Best wishes,

Hello there! Welcome to AfterSilence.
You are definitely not alone here - SO many share a common burden - and leaning on each other makes a world of a difference.

Hello @dragonfly4 -
Welcome to AfterSilence!!! It's very nice to meet you - I am sorry for the circumstances that have made you seek us out but I truly hope that you find there is an abundance of support and the members here are absolutely amazing.
(I think you've already discovered that on your own, so I'll say I agree with you!)
I am sorta, kinda keeping my distance from all the political stuff right now - I think I need to.
The shame you feel is VERY common among many of us here - I do hope that while you cannot completely wash out this stain, you can eventually get it to fade. We can certainly help you here - I am confident in saying this because this site has truly been a godsend for me in many ways.
Anyway - hang in there, and again - welcome. If there's anything I can help you with, you're VERY welcome to reach out.
Best wishes.

Hi Jax! Welcome to AS!
I hope that being here brings you peace and healing - although I am sorry for the circumstances that have brought you to us, I'm happy to meet you.
Looking forward to getting to know you. I am also an adult 'veteran' survivor; it seems like an endless battle sometimes, but it does make a world of a difference to have the support of a community.
Again, welcome.
Best wishes,

Hello Kala, and welcome.
Am so sorry you are in so much pain right now. It does get better with time and having the support of a community certainly does do wonders.

Welcome to AfterSilence!!! Happy you're here, although I'm sorry it's under stressful circumstances. I do hope that being here brings you comfort and healing. The folks here are amazingly supportive and we are a non-judgmental bunch; you can speak freely here and you are not alone!

Hi @NssAngel9 - welcome to AfterSilence.
This is a great place to be - always someone willing to talk and to listen to what you have to say. I am kind of the same way - more comfortable "talking" online than in person - I think I worry about reading others' reactions, too. This site has been a godsend! I'm sorry you have reason to be here but I do hope that being 'one of us' will bring you peace, comfort and healing.
Looking forward to getting to know you!
Best wishes,

@l3anne, welcome to AS! The folks here are wonderful and VERY supportive, so whenever you are ready, so will we. In the meantime, feel free to take a look around and see if anything inspires thought. There's no rush - you're free to say as much or as little as you like, so whatever you are most comfortable with.
Take care, and again, welcome.

Take your time, @Lwaxana - we're all here to stay.
You don't have to rush into story-telling right away...whenever you are ready, we will be, too.
So, welcome to After Silence...you are among one of the finest communities I have ever had the pleasure of belonging to. The people are fantastic and I truly hope you like what you see. I am sorry you have reason to be here but hope that being among us brings you peace, comfort and healing.
Take good care,

Hello @Striver, welcome to AfterSilence! This particular community is an absolute wonderful place to be - AS does not discriminate against gender - if you consider yourself a survivor, you certainly do belong here. Granted, you'll likely come across more women than you will men but I do know there are a fair amount of male members here (I am friendly with some of them!) and there is also a males-only password protected forum, you can ask any moderator for the password if you would like to gain access and take a look around in there. I am SURE there is a wealth of information to be found here and I truly hope that you find answers to your own questions involving the abuses you have been through as well as gain support from so many others who truly get it.
I'm sorry your ex-wife was horrible to you. I too had an abusive spouse a decade ago. We are divorced now but unfortunately I still have to deal with him regularly as we have two kids together and we co-parent. Anyway - it was incredibly brave of you to introduce yourself - hello back and welcome.
I hope that being here brings you peace, comfort and healing. You deserve that.
Best wishes,

Hello, @Mom4life17 - welcome to AS!
I too am a survivor and a mom of 2.
I hope that being here leads you toward peace and healing - Mary is right, you're not alone here and we're all wonderful supports to each other.
Best wishes, and again, welcome.

Hello @TeaLove, and welcome to AS! I'm sorry to hear that you're currently dealing with past struggles but I am hopeful that by being here among others who can relate and understand will help bring you peace, comfort and healing.
I too am a mom to 2 loves of my life - my children are a bit older now, and I've put my healing and my progress on hold many times throughout the last 18 years...am starting to work on me now! So it's wonderful to see your determination to juggle healing and motherhood - it's not easy to do but it IS doable.
Again, welcome, take your time looking around. Best wishes and best of luck!

I agree with Mary on all counts.
Hey, welcome back! I hope that this time you'll find that you'd like to stay a while. We are a good bunch of people.
Of course, one of the things I like the most about AS is that you're able to post as much or as little as you like and you're able to take things at your very own pace - we don't push nor judge here.
Again, welcome. Take your time. I hope being here brings you comfort and healing.

Hi, @Redstar13,
Welcome to AS! I'm so sorry to hear of the trauma you endured 20 years ago. This is a safe place to meet survivors of all types - I found it to be a godsend so many years ago when I joined. The people are kind, understanding and gentle - I think you will love it here. Take your time to look around and get a feel for the site - I think you will see that many of us can truly relate.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
Best wishes, and again - welcome.

Hello, @Hannahliel,
Welcome to AS. I'm so sorry for the circumstances that have brought you here, but am glad you've found us. This is a fantastic site filled with people who understand the effects of what you've been through....no two backgrounds are identical, but we share a common pain that we are all trying to heal from and to make sense of our own inner questions.
First off, not fighting does not equal consent - there are many reasons that we stop fighting, perhaps it will take some thinking and digging to figure out your own reason. As stated, you have some previous experience with sexual assault; you may have momentarily felt as if you were a child again and what happened reminded you of your brother. Either way, remember this, always....just because you didn't have the energy or mental willpower to fight this man does NOT mean you had a choice or that what he did to you was right. He was 100 percent wrong!
I am SO proud of you for building up to filing the report. I know that is a very difficult thing to do - some people do not. I did not. (It's too late for me to attempt that now.) And so when I read about others' bravery and courage (I know, it doesn't FEEL that way, but make no mistake - it is absolutely the case!) I have instant respect for them.
Stay strong!!! I hope you'll let us know how everything goes for you.

Hi, @Tryintosurvive, and welcome to AfterSilence!
SO sorry to hear of your recent trauma!!! I am sure the past two weeks have likely been really rough on you and I hope you are being kind to yourself.
I am, however, glad to hear that someone referred you here - @phoenixxx is right - this is a safe, supportive haven for survivors of every age, gender, race - it matters none - we all are trying to achieve a common goal. I hope that being here helps you to find peace, healing, comfort and eventually will inspire some good days!
Am here often if you ever need or want to talk.
Best wishes, and again - welcome.
