Hi. I don't know if I really belong here; my experience happened five years ago, but this is the first time I've ever done anything like this. I don't know if I can really call myself a 'survivor' or if what happened was actually rape. Whatever it was, I think I'm finally ready to face it for real. I don't know what else to do. I just want this to be over already.

Flowerchild,

Welcome to AS. You found yourself here for a reason, you belong. Whatever the circumstances, you were hurt, and that was wrong. Look around and get a feel for the site. Everyone is supportive and kind, and you will be accepted here. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Do not worry if you think your experience is not 'bad' enough - please realize that you deserve to feel supported, and to heal whatever your experience is. You won't be looked down on, no matter how 'different' you think your experience has been, and most likely, it's probably not.

I think all of us minimize out abuse, especially, at first! That actually tells me you *really* are in need of support.

You easily can 'belong' here. You are welcome to, anyway.

As was said, regardless of what it was or wasn't, if you're feeling conflicted or hurt you're in theright place to talk through it and try to get your head around it. Good for you :) I was hurt nearly 20 years ago and only started properly facing it this year, so you're really doing well. Will see you round I'm sure.
