hello!

Hi,

I'm rosa I'm new here - I've found that reading posts on here has been really helpful to me already (if a little overwhelming). I've always found myself unable to speak about sexual assault to friends or counsellors irl so I'm looking forward to being able to do so here in time. I look forward to talking with people more

Welcome, @rosaa,

I'm sorry for the painful experiences that brought you here, but I am happy you found us.  This is a kind and supportive community and we all know about the pain of abuse and the shame that creates 'silence'.  

Feel free to look around at your own pace and post whenever you want to.

Blessings,

Gold Raindrops
