kimbees324 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Welcome to AS. I am glad that you are though wish you didn't have any reason to be. Telling your story is really scary for most of us..especially the first time...so take your time with it. Share when you feel safe enough to. We will all be here with you until then. We all understand how frightening it can all be and how overwhelming it can feel. I hope that we can talk sometime. Link to post
