New Here - Learning To Speak

[AMM1188]

Hi everyone. I have joined this forum after much internal debate because I feel that it is important for me to begin sharing my experience with others instead of remaining in the chokehold of silence and fear. This is my first time sharing my abuse story with anyone besides my therapist and boyfriend and to be honest it is difficult when I don't even want to believe in what occurred. Even so, I am working towards getting to a place where I can actually verbalize my experiences and help others move on from theirs.

Thank you both for your welcoming words. Being here just makes so much sense right now, it's the first time I have not felt alone in years.
