[50ShadesofRed]

Hello, my name is Stephanie, or "50ShadesofRed," as I am a redhead and my skin has been at least 50 shades of red over the years. I found this site about a month ago, joined, and am finally introducing myself. I am married, have three children and a dog. For the past 22 years, I thought my rape was my fault; it wasn't. I am hoping to seek guidance and grow in wisdom from those who have been on the site longer, and have had more time to process their rape. I am in a constant state of flux right now and it is affecting my family, my sleep, and my ability to function during the day. I am hoping to seek guidance and grow in wisdom from those who have been on the site longer, and have had more time to process their rape. I am hopeful to makes friends "who know" what I am feeling because right now no one else does...

Hello Stephanie,

Welcome I am pretty new to this site also. But like you I am going on 20 years since I put a stop to my abuse. I hope you find what you need here. And if you just need to talk I would be more than happy to listen.
