The_butterfly Posted August 30, 2016 Bonjour. Although very deceiving I am Australian and I was recommended this site to check out and talk to others who have had a similar experience/s to what I have had. I probably won't share my complete story for a while but maybe once I get a feel for the community I will. The story of my user name comes from 2 things... 1. I love the water and I'm an elite swimmer (Butterfly) 2. Butterflies are often overlooked and behind the bright colours can lie a hard journey and life. Plus I love butterflies okay..... -The_Butterfly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MeBeMary Posted August 30, 2016 Hello The_Butterfly, Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma you have gone thru, but you have found a very supportive site. There is no pressure on what or when you want to share, as this journey is yours, so take it at your own pace. The site was recommended, so it does sound like you have at least some support on the outside, which I am happy you have. Also just reaching out here is a big step, and you have as much time as you need to continue taking steps on your healing journey. Mary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
