Hi loveless, you are right coming here is a big step and can be scarie . You don't have to identify your self as a victim, you don't need to put any label on it. I personally use the word survived . I look at it took a lot to survive what happened to me, I am strong.  Welcome to AS

Hi lovelessms,

Welcome to AS. I am sorry for the trauma you have suffered, but you have found a very supportive site. You are right, it's not easy to identify oneself as a victim. It is very hard to acknowledge that you've been hurt and hurt in the way you have. You would be surprised how many of us have tried to deny it or keep it buried. The hard part about that is that the trauma doesn't really go away. You are correct in saying that you have made a very big step reaching out on this site. I want to assure you this is a safe place and nobody here will judge you or pressure you. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Mary
