Hi Everyone

[GuardianAngel]

Hello, I am new to this site, it seems like a great place for sharing stories and helping others. I am 18 years old and currently in an abusive situation. I have never talked about it to anyone and have just pretended to be ok for the last 9 years. Maybe someone could give me some advice? I'm not sure what to do. Its kind of complicated. Thanks

Hi. I'm very new here too and you're not alone. I'm sorry that you're being abused. There is nothing that you could ever do to deserve it.
