Interesting chart... tells me basically what I already knew... that I am somewhere between victim and survivor... there were a lot of these that I highlighted both the victim AND survivor option, because I'm either right between the two, or I go back and forth depending on my mood. I only highlighted one thing in the thriver category... I know I've still got a LONG way to go. :/ It does help to see it laid out in words like that, though... it gives me a bit of an idea of where to go next. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, everyone.

for a while, at least. I've been gone for about 3 years, I think... but things are coming back, and I could use some support. So, here I am.

I have been wondering for a while if there was a way to change the default to NOT "remember me." I log on from school quite often, and sometimes it's hard to remember to click that log in button instead of using the quick form.

Are we allowed to use HTML and make our member titles pretty colors?

*TRIGGER for anger and swearing* I HATE HATE HATE the "I would have..." comments. Sure, that's what you think now, but it's VERY different when you're in that situation. Also, from the rape when I was 7, I have gotten two: "Why didn't you tell anyone?" - don't you think that's obvious? I was 7, he was my step-father, and he threatened me. What else was I going to do? and one as*hole in a chatroom asked "Did you like it?" - FOR FUCKS SAKE, I WAS 7, MORON!!! Sorry, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Not long after I told a friend of mine: "I'm going to go hang out with Kyle and some of his friends tomorrow, want to come?" "No, I don't ever want to see Kyle again." "Why do you hate him so much?" "I told you this just a couple weeks ago!" "Oh, yeah. Well, you're missing out. It's gonna be fun!" Then, the next day, she and I were walking through the park, and she points to some sidewalk chalk drawings. "See, we had a blast. Look, Kyle drew that one, isn't it great?!?" It was the same picture he drew in my yearbook before we stopped talking.

This is a very big and important first step. You should be proud. *welcoming hugs*

hello, Starla, and welcome. :D

The six inches of snow on Thanksgiving wasn't enough for you?!? ;) (I go to DeKalb for school.) That's okay, it wasn't enough for me, either! More SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

21... sometimes I feel older, sometimes I feel much younger.

I'm a music student right now... I want to be a music therapist and start a crisis center. :D

Of course, sweetie. And, you're not the only one who felt right at home. I did, too, which is why I spoke so highly of this place when I told you about it.

((((((((((Sweetie))))))))))) Did you see what Nick and heavensent said? Listen to them... I've been trying to tell you those things for a long time. ;) Welcome to the board, Princess. ;) Love ya!

yepperz... but you have to keep a close eye on it, because sometimes the male gets hungry and eats the eggs... if that starts happening, you have to take him out.

(((((((Catherine)))))))))) It's SOOO good to see you... of course I know you, sweetie... I've responded to your PM. I've been so worried about you for a long time.. it's absolutely WONDERFUL to see you!!!

thanks for the welcomes (((((((sonic violets Heavensent)))))))))) violets, do you know what kind of bettas, and colors? I am partial to half-moons, myself, but mine is a normal ole veil tail. He's still pretty, though. Heavensent, I am planning on making a post explaining my dislike of the term survivor a little more in depth, but I haven't quite gotten there yet. I didn't realize how much I had in me that I wanted to let out until I posted here and you all encouraged me so much. Now I feel like I have about a million things to post about.

wow, Donna, I know you! Do you remember me? Thank you so much for the warm welcomes... I was nervous about coming to a new place... still am really... but these welcomes really help.

I'm terrible at the whole introduction thing... I'm flautist. I don't like the term survivor, I prefer to call myself a veteran of an on-going war. Survivor to me means that it's over, but I just don't think this will ever completely be over. I thought it was, but then it came back. As if you can't already tell, I'm also very blunt. I try my very best not to offend anyone, but I do say what's on my mind. That's kind of recent... I've been trying to let my shield down and open up a bit. Okay, that started out a bit heavy... let's lighten it up a bit... I'm a college student, studying music
