Hello

[Fireflies]

Hi, I've never posted on a forum before about my past abuse and I'm glad I found this site.  I'm learning and struggling with being open about it and I am looking for support.   I hope that one day, I will finally and truly be heal from it.

@1444Fireflies - a hearty welcome to After Silence!!!  It is never easy to learn to open up and to talk about our pasts, but I am hopeful you will see that this is a very safe, non-judgmental place.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Best wishes,
Capulet
