Hello

[CeceGt708]

Hello. My name is Cece. I have decided I need to find a support group as I recently told my parents about my sexual assault, and we think it's a good idea for me to reach out to others so I can stop spiraling farther and farther downwards. I would love to talk to any of you.

Hi Cece,

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry you experienced an assault. This was so unfair and undeserved. You have found a place that is safe and supported. You are not alone. This community has many understanding and kind members. We work together to support and encourage one another.

It sounds like you have supportive parents. This is good to know. I am glad they encouraged you to reach out. It can be difficult to understand and navigate thru the struggles that come along with trauma. We are here for you.

Take your time and look around. You can interact where and with what you are comfortable with. I am glad you found us and wish you many steps forward on this journey we call healing.

Mary

Hi Cece,

Welcome! I think you’re going to find a lot of support here, as I did. I’m so sorry for what you went thru, but I’m glad you shared with your parents who are helping you. A lot of us can’t tell our parents out of fear of a lot of things, and I’m so glad you have them. I’m here to support on your way to healing.
