Hello I'm new here

[Bobbi27]

Hi,

I'm not sure how much im really going to use this site. I found it months ago and found solace reading other survivors stories. It gave me hope. Hope that I too could move forward with my life. I thought maybe connecting with others here could make me feel less isolated, but also, maybe I could help someone else feel less alone. So hello everyone!

Hi Bobbi,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the traumas you have experienced. Nobody has the right to hurt you like this. I am glad that you have already looked around, so you do know how supportive and understanding the members here can be. Be assured that you can chose to use the site as you wish. There is no requirement for you to take advantage of what we have to offer. If it's reading, that's fine. If you decide to post, that's fine too. But be assured, you are not alone. I do wish you the very best as you walk on this healing path.

Mary
