Hi all,

I was hesitant about starting a post, or even an account, as this is all brand new to me. I've recently began acknowledging a part of my life that I feel like I've blacked out for the past 7 years. Although a while has gone by, the wounds are still very fresh and I am ready to heal by sharing my story as well as supporting others. I'm hoping this will finally allow me to gain a sense of relief and unburden myself. 

Thank you.

Hi Mollcee,

Welcome to AS. I am so sorry you've been hurt, but you have found a very supportive site. The members here truly understand. I know personally from not dealing with the emotions of abuse can eventually catch up to you. I'm sorry you are experiencing that now. I am glad you have found us, tho, and have decided to reach out. Reaching out is a huge step to take in moving forward. I wish you many more steps on this journey we call healing.

Mary

Welcome MollCee. I understand not acknowledging things to you for a while. Sometimes it is the only way to cope. I am glad that you are ready to heal and have come to AS. This is a wonderful, safe and supportive site. I hope you find lots of relief here and that you are able to share as much as you want so you can find relief. All the best to you.

@MeBeMary Thank you so much for your support. I am hoping to offer the same to others as well as I move forward on this journey.

@phoenixxx I agree, it is easy to cope when you don't acknowledge it, although I am now finding that it does come back to catch up. Thank you for your kind words. I finally got myself to share my story today and am already to beginning to feel just a little bit of the weight off my shoulders, but I know it takes time.
