Hello, it's my first day!

[Kim3]

Hello,

I am an incest and sexual abuse survivor, and I have a feeling After Silence is exactly what I need. I have been through therapy for many years, but never a group or forums such as this.

I am so excited about meeting other survivors. 

Thank you so much for being here.

Hello Kim,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for the trauma you have endured in your life. It is unfair and undeserved that you went thru this. You are not alone tho. Our community is filled with supportive and understanding members. You will find many individuals that you will surely relate to.

Take some time and look around the site. Interact where and with what you are comfortable with. I wish you the best as you continue down your path of healing.

Mary

As I am reading your replies this morning as I drink my coffee and eat my toast with PB&J, I have tears (of joy) streaming down my face. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms 💜

@Kim3 Welcome! I'm sorry that you went through this, but I'm glad that you reached out for support! Sharing your story and even just coming forward with the fact that you're a survivor aren't easy things to do. You are strong--never forget that.
