Hello, my name is Charli and I've recently decided that I should probably start talking about the things I've been ignoring/suppressing since childhood. I'm very excited to make some healthy, positive relationships with people who can relate to me and hopefully this forum will be a great way for me to start recovery :-)

Hi Charli,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for the trauma you have experienced as a child, but you have found a very supportive site. What happened to you was wrong, and I hope you know that you are not to blame. It is a very big step to reach out to others, so I would like to acknowledge that accomplishment. I wish you nothing but the best as you begin your journey of healing.

Mary

Hi Charli!  Welcome to AS!  This is a great place to start your journey toward healing.  The support and insight from other members can make a HUGE difference.  You don't have to go through this alone anymore.  I've been around awhile, and have seen so many close friendships develop.  In fact, I met one of my very closest friends here.

Take your time looking around, and post whenever you want or feel able.  YOU are in control of your words - you get to decide exactly what you need or want to say, and when you say it, who you say it to... AS is all about regaining a sense of control and safety in life. 

I look forward to getting to know you.
