Hi. So relieved there's a group like this. Knowing everyone is just here to give support without any agendas. I have just come out of denial over my experience, I buried it due to the fact that it was my husband. Thank you for adding me

Hi, @ScarredHart, welcome to AS. I am so sorry for what brought you here, but glad you have found AS. I think denial is pretty common ... especially when the person who hurt you was someone who was supposed to love you or it is not safe for you to voice your truth. Sending warm thoughts & a warm welcome to you.
