Long time coming

[4oscar]

Hi I was given this website by a psychologist back in Coffs Harbour NSW Australia and I once had a brief look. Now I feel that reaching out to a forum like this may help me be able to move forward. Professionally I have been able to move forward but personally I still struggle within myself and find that hard to accept. Guilt overrides the need for strength within myself.

I hope this forum can help me reach out to others and maybe able to direct me to similar sites in Australia. We can't let their power over rule us.

Look forward to chatting with you.

Hi 4oscar,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma you have experienced and the struggles you now face. Guilt is a terrible infliction for survivors, but it must be remembered that the guilt party is only the person that has hurt us. You were not and never were to blame. In time, I hope you can shed what does not belong to you. You will find many understanding and kind members here. You are not alone. I wish you well as you travel down the path of healing.

Mary
