Just A Quick Intro!

[bendandnotbreak]

It's been almost 10 years but I'm still healing. I was raped, sexually abused, and sexually assaulted when I was 15-17 years old. In the "aftermath" I dealt with eating disorder, self-injury and anxiety issues. I'm 26 now...I thought it would be "all better" by now, but unfortunately it's not!

I'm married and have two beautiful children, a 7 year old girl and 3 year old boy. I'm a stay-at-home Mom. I love my life and my family, but as happy as I am I still don't feel whole. I'm still trying to put back together all my broken pieces.

I'm here because I'm hoping to find other people who understand what I've been through and how I feel. I just finally worked up the courage to tell my husband everything a few weeks ago (he'd only known bits and pieces before). That was a huge step for me. Coming to this message board is another huge step!!
