pnn05 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I just wanted to post and say "hi." I came across this site on google. I am 21 years old and a 14 year survivor of sexual abuse. I just recently escaped from my situation about 8 months ago. (I will post the details later). I am finally admitting to myself what really happened to me. This is a huge step for me, but as I came across these forums, I am feeling that this website, that hearing others stories, will help me eventually work through the pain. Anyways, "hi" and it is nice meeting everyone! Link to post
