sisterinsurvival Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hi , My name is Lynn, and I am a member of the New Member Support Team. I just wanted to take the time to say welcome to After Silence. I know how scary sharing can be! Take your time and it will come when you are ready. I hope that you find comfort and support here. I am glad that you have joined with us and look forward to getting to know you. If you need anything or have questions about the boards or how something works, please send me a personal message. I will gladly help in any way possible...also if you need someone to listen, let me know. Take care, Link to post
harris710 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You are incredibly brave for reaching out for support! I waited 10 years after my childhood to even admit what happened to me. It's really hard to talk about abuse, but it's so worth it. Once you get help, you learn how to protect yourself. I still have ups and downs, but it's so much better than keeping it all bottled up. Whenever you are ready, we are all here for you. In the meantime, keep reading stories. You'll see that you are not alone in your struggle. Hey, its great to have joined this sight. Im so very scared. Im a young girl who has never ever spoke in any kind of detail about the things that have happend to me.

4everRoxy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey, its great to have joined this sight. Im so very scared. Im a young girl who has never ever spoke in any kind of detail about the things that have happend to me. Im not sure im ready to im just planning on being a really good listener for awhile... I understand your fear. I have only told one person all the details of my story and that was the detective that I spoke with a few weeks back. That being after 21 years of keeping silent. I'm scared of sharing my story, but not as much with fellow survivors or victims, but with family, friends, especially my dad. I guess I'm going to have to muster up the courage to post my story soon. Link to post
