Hi everyone, I'm new here. I found this site when i was searching through google one day. I'm no survivor, I date a rape survivor who has a really hard time with post traumatic stress and I want to be there for her but I don't know how. I'm so relieved to find my way to such an amazing, non-judgemental site.

God bless,

Darkrose

Hi Darkrose

Welcome to the group...

"I'm no survivor, I date a rape survivor who has a really hard time with post traumatic stress and I want to be there for her but I don't know how."

This makes you a secondary survivor then (like me), so you are in fact a survivor... fantastic that you want to be there for your partner...just being there in the moment, listening, offering empathy and love at the times your partner needs it most is all you can do right now... everything else needs to be driven by your partner...

Then there is what all of this means for you too, because you too have feelings and may be hurting also:o(

"I'm so relieved to find my way to such an amazing, non-judgemental site".

Yes, an oasis of sorts isn't it, just when all hope is receding up pops a fertile place in a desert when you need it most..

So hope you find that which you seek here..
