agentukelele Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Well, I don't really know what to say. I'm a 30yo and joined this place to give support to my partner, who is a survivor, as second survivor. I myself am a survivor as well, but I don't have the need for help or to be heard at all. I do well on my own. Although this place seems chill. I hope I get to have some interesting conversations at some point. Also I like dogs and yelling at videogames when I'm bad at them. 👀 Link to post

MeBeMary Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hi agentukelele and welcome. It is nice you are supporting your partner. Many survivors don't have this type of support. It is likely you understand a bit more than most, which is a little sad, but lucky for your partner. I am glad you are doing well yourself and hoping that you can continue to progress as you have been. Wishing you both the best. Mary Link to post
Finchy Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Welcome to AS, @agentukelele! I'm glad you found your way here. It's awesome you're here to help support your partner. They are very lucky to have you. Your interests align with mine lol...dogs and yelling at video games when I'm bad at them! Dogs are the best (no offense to cat people)...I have one, and she's a sweetheart. As for video games, I play too many to list. But I find myself yelling at them here and there for sure hehe. Best wishes to you. Take care! -Finch Link to post
missfrier Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Hello agentukele Welcome to AS. I am sorry to hear that you've had to find us, but glad you did. I am sad to hear that someone you care about has experienced trauma. It is always wonderful to see someone willing and wanting to help their family member or friend through this difficult time. Just being there for them and letting them talk without fear of judgement is the absolute best gift you can give them. Please know and understand that we are also here to support you. I hope that being here will help you to be able to support your loved one as best as you possibly can. Please lean on us for support if you need. Wishing you all the best!!! missfrier Link to post
