A Safe Space

[Hope4Grace]

Joining AS was hard for me because it meant accepting that my birth father had raped and drugged me from 3-9 years old. It took me such a long time and a lot of help to get to a place where I was comfortable in my own skin. 

Thank you so much for you guys sharing your stories here as well because it has helped me to not feel as alone.

Thank you all, ❤️
