LandOfShadow Posted February 21, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm newly subscribed here. I'm a 49 y.o. man. I'm here to work on some issues I have with people, particularly women. I was sexually abused, and my mother was very emotionally abusive. I'm just incredibly sad how this has caused so many problems for me relating to women. Basically a lot of overwhelming fears and anxiety. I'd really like to change that. This looks like a kind and caring place. And I can't tell you how sad I am to read what men have done to the women here.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobodys_Angel Posted February 21, 2008 WElcome to AS landofshadow, sometimes it is so hard for us to learn to trust the opposite sex when we have been abused. It may take time for you, but I have learned people here truly do care and no one is here to hurt or harm another. I hope you find AS warm and inviting and someplace you can find yourself sharing and caring along with the rest of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
