Hi Saz,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what happened to you last week. It is something no one should go thru. You have found a very supportive site tho, with understanding members. You are not alone. It takes courage to reach out. I wish many more healing steps for you.

Woah, that's very recent! You made up your mind so fast! This should be a compliment, It took me five years to start questioning myself about what happened and one more year after my perp told me he knew it wasn't consensual to start accepting it and wonder if I should reach out. And I'm not the only one. It's not so easy, I'd start by being proud of you being able to reach for support as soon as you realized your close ones weren't providing enough of it. And I'm sorry they didn't.
Good point patriciag made: there's also a section for survivors' relatives and friends, and who is registered as secondary survivor has no access to some sections of the forum that are only for primary survivors, so that survivors can keep their privacy while receiving all the support they feel asking for. If you think that it could be of any use you're free to ask your husband  if he would like to register.

Also I really hope we could help you go through this and heal in the best way possible. Hugs if ok

Hello @Saz78

Welcome to AS, but sorry you need to be here at all. It’s good to reach out for support and you will find understanding people here. I hope you are doing all right, it’s very recent and you may still be in shock. I hope your husband and others in your life will be understanding and supportive. What happened was not your fault.
