Hello.. I just found this site a few days ago.. I am just starting to deal with my rape that happened when I was 13, 15, and at 18. I am now 32. I have been telling myself I am OKay and I can get thru this... needless to say, we all need help at sometime, and I know that I need help to get thru this... I will write more again soon...

I am in the same boat. I am 38 and my situation happened 21 yes ago. I never really dealt with it or talked about it until a now. I hope you can find some peace soon. Just being among everyone here and reading their posts has helped.

New Here ,Thanks for this support I have just began my journey of dealing with what happened to me 30+ years ago feel so alone at times so unsure of what the future holds wish I had told someone years ago have only told my husband now feel like I cheated us out of life, It was an older brother who did this to me and He was so controling over my life I was scared to tell and so ashamed of what he did How can we hide it to where it don't even seem like it happened but you know all your life it did. So much has happened this past month I just hope I can get free from all the hurt and hurt, does anyone ever tell their grown children? what happened in the past or do you just keep it to yourself has anyone told them?I want to share my complete story later it helps so much to talk about it here. So lost right now.

Thank-you too everyone here! It helps having a very supportive group of people that have been thru and survived the same things. I am very greatful to have found this site. To those that have just started dealing with their own situations, as I have, one thing that I learned is that we are still here. No one broke us. You are still you and still living every day. To those that hurt us... We are still here and surviving!

We do have each other for support...
