Um..... Hi

[AnnelieseMoonChild]

Hello. I'm Natalie
I'm 20 years old and I live in Wisconsin with my mom, dad, their three dogs, and my cat.
I'm here because I felt alone about what happened.
I have a girlfriend who talks to me when I freak out, but she doesn't understand. And I hope to the gods she never does.
I don't feel like going over any details, but was abused by a trusted family member for years. Recently its become too stressful and I started looking for a healthy outlet, and I found this site. Hopefully it helps.

I'd advise against anyone going through the rest of that deviantart gallery if you are easily triggered, some of my poems/stories are possibly triggering.

Hi Anneliese,

Welcome to Aftersilence

I just saw the pictures of the three dogs and the cat! Soooooooooooooooo cute!!! I love them!

You are definitely not alone in this, and know that here you will be heard and understood. I kind of wish the same of my friends that they never understand because I don't want them to go through this.

I too was assaulted by a family member for years. hang in there and I'm glad that you are reaching out.
