[Welcome to AS]

@BraveOneyou are so right about AS. It's amazing and everyone has been so helpful and understanding. Something that I didn't have in my everyday life. AS gave me the courage to tell my roommate what happened to me.

To know that everyone here is going through something similar makes it easier to talk about because I know there's no judgement.

@WanderingandLostWell I read quite a few posts before I actually found the courage to comment anything about what happened to me.

I know how alone you feel. My family knows what my father did to me but basically ignore it because they don't believe me. I knew not to tell about my teacher assaulting me because I wasn't believed before so why would I be now? 

Only I found AS and I got brave enough to actually write what happened. Just a few sentences but still. It helped so much. There's no judgement I've encountered here only support, understanding and encouragement. 

Perhaps writing it out may help you. Whenever you're ready tho. No pressure just safe hugs and understanding
