missfrier Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Dear @Survivor_ 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!  Edited September 8, 2019 by MeBeMary Link to post

MeBeMary Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Hi Survivor_, Welcome to AS. I am very sorry for what you have gone thru, it wasn't right and completely unfair. You are not alone tho, as this is a very supportive community. It took great courage to reach out, so be proud of yourself for doing so. A chat feature is in testing phase right now, but will be fully active hopefully in a few days. We have many forums you are welcome to post in. If you need to speak to any of the Newbie Support Team privately, feel free to private message us (hover over staff user picture for a short cut to the message button). We are here to help and guide you as you begin your healing journey with us. Mary Edited September 8, 2019 by MeBeMary Link to post

We all share a common thread and we all want the same thing...to find healing and peace. We are all worthy of that. You are worthy of that. if ok. Link to post
