Hi, I’ve come here as I don’t know where else to turn to be able to talk about what happened or get advice on what to do (if anything).

Im 36 and a survivor of childhood abuse. I live in the UK, I am a single parent, suffering from ptsd but determined to overcome everything and get to a place where I can enjoy life. 

 

Just feeling a bit bit stuck at the moment

Hi @Bubwol2

Welcome to AS.  I'm sorry about the trauma you have experienced in your life.  You did not deserve it and it wasn't your fault.  You may be feeling a bit stuck right now, and that is completely normal for survivors, but you can and will heal from this.  We are all here to support you.  It will take time, but you will get to a place where you can enjoy life.  You are welcome to post on the forums whenever you feel comfortable.  Reach out if you need advice, validation, or even just a virtual hug.  I hope you end up finding this site as helpful as I do.

Hi Bubwol2,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the abuse you endured as a child, but you will find tons of support her. I know it can be difficult and feel like struggles always follow you, but things can become better. You will find this site is safe and non-judgmental. We are here for each other thru the difficult times...and the progress and triumphs. It all starts with one step...and I am glad you took that step. I wish you many forward steps on this journey of healing.

Mary
