Hello From Australia!


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I just found the courage to start looking for support yesterday and so I have just joined this forum. From what I gather, this is a great forum. I went through about 5 years of sexual abuse at the hands of a man I no longer call my father.

I hope that we can all help each other in healing as I find that I am very angry with not only him for ruining me for the rest of my life but also my family for not giving me the support and protection I needed.

Welcome to After Silence. I really hope that you find what you need here. If you need someone to talk to in private, please know that you can PM me and I will reply.

I have never had any support from my family because I never told them what happened to me. I have never had all that great of a family like it seems other people have. But I do wish that I had one. Instead, I have found friends that have gotten me through an amazing amount of recovery. Now, I have After Silence to give me what I need. People who listen. Peoply who can sympathize with me. People who care. People who need me to support them. People for me to help.

I hope you find what you need too.
