Hi There


Recommended Posts

It has been 3 years now and I have only just started accepting what happened. There are days when it is all I remember, hearing my protests. I feel stupid and ashamed I denyed it for so long and made myself believe that he did nothing wrong, that it was my fault.

Welcome to After Silence, Stephmari!

Gentle hugs...please never feel ashamed of the process of recovery you're going through. It's okay. We all progress at our own pace. I took longer. It was eight years before I even acknowledged that my abuse was just that, abuse; That realization began to occur after a major loss in my life. It's been eight more years, and I still have my struggles though I'm grateful for the progress I've made through much hard work. After Silence has been a safe, supportive, and understanding place to come when I've struggled with my walk down the path to life after the silence.

If you need assistance with the forums or have any questions, please message me.

Take good care,

Thanks, been reading the posts from everyone and I'm glad I found this page, I'm so relieved I'm not alone with this. I'm finally starting to realise there is some hope, just seeing all this, and I can finally talk about it. It's been tough coming to terms with it,, but reading through the posts help me know I did nothing wrong :)

hey stephmari, it took me a two years to even realize what happened - that it wasn't my fault, and he was responsible - and another year between realizing 'something bad happened' to really recognizing what it was, and its been a long road since, so i can definitely relate to what you are feeling. that said, please know it does lift a little, and that there is so much support and kindness available to you, and you are deserving of that. xo.
