Hi, Newbie Here...

[Glitterboy]

Hi. I'm Quinn, I'm 18 years old... when I was 8 I was abused by someone who worked (at the time... I pray to God he doesn't anymore) very closely with children... never told anybody about that excluding my boyfriend, a very close friend (who got it out of me last night - when I desperately needed to talk and my boyfriend wasn't speaking to me), and my border collie Maddie, who I tell everything because I know she can't betray me.

Then when I was 16 I got involved in a very exploitative situation that ended in rape and everyone knows about that and I wish they didn't...

Welcome to AS, Quinn. I am so sorry for what happened to you on both accounts and that everyone knows, against your wishes, of what happened to you at 16. I am glad you found us and hope you can start sharing your conversations with your border collie with us as well.
