Hi Liz,

Welcome to After Silence. I think you'll find that we have quite a few young people on the forums... way more than should be. It's a downright shame that so many children are being abused and molested. I would have hoped that the numbers would drop as we become more able and willing to talk about subjects that weren't acceptable 20-40 years ago. Instead the numbers seem to be rising. I hope you'll feel safe here. This is one of the best support forums I've seen on the web. Everyone here is caring and comforting. I'm sorry you have to be here, though. Bad things should not happen to good people.

HI LIZ...

welcome to After Silence.....you will soon settle in and realise what a friendly bunch they are here....

[PJ_Twenty]

Oh my goodness...

I'm shocked at how many of you replied. Thank you so much, I do feel so welcomed. You have no idea... I'm just in awe. Thank you so much. I was also surprized to see so many people my age, somehow it makes me feel extra welcome. And Ardatha, I wish the numbers would have gone down too. Maybe in the years to come? thanks again... I look forward to talk to you all.
