Dear @J_123

Welcome to After Silence!!

I'm sorry for what you have been through.  I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud.  Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted.  It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well.  Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

I am sending you lots of safe hugs! 

Take care!

@J_123, what happened to you isn’t your fault. I am so sorry that you are feeling so hurt and scared. I wish that I could spare you from that pain and trauma. You did not deserve what happened, and you didn’t ask for it in any way. Welcome! I hope you find others to talk to when you feel safe and ready. You may want to consider contacting RAINN. Only do what feels comfortable and safe for you.
