@bunnie The abuse that you endured was unfair and undeserved, however, I am glad that you found this place of healing. There are many of us here who have suffered abuse / neglect that was not directly related to the trauma that directly brought us here. It is definitely OK to address those in the forums as well. It is very common and normal to feel nervous at first, but in know that you will find comfort and support from many here. Congratulations on taking this step towards healing, it takes courage to begin to confront the traumas we have suffered.

@Karma1122 I’m sorry that you have had to endure the experiences that brought you here, but I am glad that you found AS. There are many people here who will relate to what you have been through. I agree with you, no one can give us healing, we have to want that ourselves first. But all of our fellow travelers can help bear the load.
