Hello all!!

[StarryEyes]

Hello, I am a 20 year old single mother to a beautiful baby girl. And just recently over the past 2 years have I come to terms with what happened to me. Just recently it has become difficult to deal with mentally and I here I am. I look forward to telling my part and feeling less alone in my recovery.

Hi @StarryEyes

Welcome to AS. I'm sorry for the trauma that brought you here, but I'm glad you found the site and decided to join. It is normal for a survivor to take months or years to realize and accept what happened, but it is never to late to start the healing process. Healing is tough and I'm sorry you are struggling at the moment, but you will get through it. You are stronger than you believe. And we are all here to support you along the way. Talking and sharing with other survivors can be really helpful in the healing process. Take some time looking around and let us know if you have any questions. You are welcome to post on the forums whenever you feel comfortable. I hope you end up finding this site to be as helpful as I do.
