I'm New

[Caramellicake]

Hello I'm new here. I'm a stay at home mom of twin boys. I've only had two long term sexually abusive experiences. One by father and the other by my husband. I'm still married to him, and we work at getting past the pain everyday.. but most of the time.. I don't know how to get over it or get past it. I hope to find other women in similar experiences and share strength..

Hi Caramellicake,

Welcome to AS. I am sorry for the traumas that you have suffered. Being hurt like that is not right, and is not your fault. You will find that this site is very supportive, with kind and understanding members.  There are forums and members of every type on this site, and I don't think it will be that hard for you to connect. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Hello Caramel. Welcome to AS! It is my wish that you find this site as helpful and healing as I have in my healing journey. 

I am part of the NST (Newbie Support Team). What that means is that I (or any of the mods/admins/NST) can help/direct you as you learn how to use the forums. Should you have questions, feel free to send a PM to any one of the AS staff. 

You've taken a huge step in reaching out. This is a big step in healing from abuse of any kind. Take all the time you need in sharing. 

Know that you are not alone. I'm sorry that you were hurt by those two people. 

Am listening and validating you and your experiences.
