ReflectingFaerie Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hello there! I am a new member. I'm happy to be here. Here's a little intro... I'm 26 and I'm an incest survivor. The perp being my father. I have no contact with him and haven't since the age of 18. I've come a long way in my healing journey, however I still have a ways to go. I'm currently in therapy. I'm seeing a Psychiatrist who also does therapy & specializes in PTSD. I am very lucky and grateful that I have the support of my mom and sister. As soon as my mom found out about my "father" she left him, took my sister and I with her and never turned back. Anyhow, so that's such a brief into, but an intro nonetheless! I look forward to being here. I need as much support as I can receive and I also need to give as much support as I can. Giving means as much to me as receiving! Link to post

snowdrop Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Welcome to After Silence Im so sorry for what you have been through. I know what you mean about the giving being just as important as the receiving - i feel the same way. I'm glad that you have the support of your mum and sister and that you left when your mum found out. im sorry that it had to happen at all though. Take really good care of yourself, love from Laura xxx Link to post

whitedove Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I am glad you are seeking help and that your mother and sister are there for you. I too have been abused in similar circumstances and glad that you have been able to find the courage to go to therapy and join this forum. (((hugs)))) whitedove Link to post
