Hello

Hello...

Well...nothing like jumping in with both feet! My counselor suggested I read/have contact with others who have gone through this stuff, too, so that I can see what I am going through is normal and I'm not dying! I'm 37, from Texas, and only semi-recently dealing with the sexual abuse (its still really hard to write that word, let alone say it!) though I have been dealing with spiritual abuse, & emotional/mental abuse from childhood,too. Enough for now....I like what I read and how kind y'all are to each other.

Well, I finally see someone else from the big state of TX on here.(lol)

Welcome to AS. I have found that this site has really helped a lot. It's great to talk to others whether in person or online who know exactly what you're going through. WELCOME!!!
