  1. "You are nothing but a selfish b*tch and never there for ******. She is always there for you, but you're never there for her. You are a fake, everyone knows what you're really like lol"

    :cry:

    ((((PITW))))

    That's horrible, and, I'm sure, totally untrue.

    Another one that I got:

    "I think that the most traumatic thing about what happened to you was that you kept making the decision to go back to him. I implore you to ask God for forgiveness."

    Never mind that he told me he would kill himself if I left him. Apparently it's all my fault.

    Fail.

  2. Welcome to After Silence, Iris! I'm glad you're coming out of lurkdom and joining us :)

    It's great that you've been able to share with others and that this has been such a relief for you. I hope that AS will be a place where you can find more support and more healing.

  5. Hi, and welcome to AS. It is a wonderful to get support from people who really 'get it'.
