  2. hi fern welcome here. you are so brave, strong, and selfless to have stood beside your friend through her trauma, especially given that it must have triggered a lot of bad feelings for you. i agree that you will likely never get over what happened to you entirely, but i believe that you can move foward, and live a healthier and happier life. although you may still struggle with some guilt, i like that you posted that you were young and did what you told. you had no responsibility in what happened. it was not your fault, and i'm sorry you were taken advantage of like that. don't feel bad that
  3. hi rob welcome here. i'm sorry for what you have experienced. you are so brave to be here. although this site is primarily compromised of women who have experienced abuse, i've noticed that there are a few men here, and that everyone trys to be supportive and helpful. no matter what your gender, each of us here has been through a similar tremendous pain, and that unites us. i think it's great to have both men and women on this site, because it allows for different perspectives, one group doesn't feel alone with their problem, and we learn that there are safe and supportive people of the same
  4. hi nea glad you joined us. you're very brave to reach out. i'm sure many of us can relate to resorting to self destructive behavior as a way of "dealing" with our pain. don't be too hard on yourself. you did what you needed to in order to survive, and have taken a huge step in recognizing that some things need to change, and looking for help to make that happen. looking foward to getting to know you. dawn
  5. hi everybody. hope you are all doing well. sorry i haven't been on in a while. i'm not ignoring you or anything. i have no internet access at home right now and haven't for a little over 2 weeks, so i haven't been able to get online at all. right now i'm borrowing someone else's computer while they are showering to let you know why i haven't been around to talk. i really hope to be back online at home soon, and look foward to talking to you all again. miss you all bunches. take care. talk to you soon. safe hugs. dawn

  12. hi larissa. welcome here. i'm sorry you had to experience those terrible things. it's true that you don't get over things like that. i know it's unfair to have to continue to suffer because of things someone else did, but we're here for you. i just joined a few days ago, but this place seems really supportive already. i'm here to listen if you want to talk. looking foward to getting to know you. dawn
  13. welcome here moe. i'm so sorry for what happened to you. i'm glad you were finally able to tell your friends. that must have took a lot of courage and i'm proud of you. it's not something that you should have ever had to experience, let alone deal with all by yourself. as for telling your teacher, i suspect that she may have to report it, but then again, you never know. maybe asking her hypothetically (like explaining that your "friend" experienced it) would give you a better idea as to what her reaction might be? it's lousy that you don't feel safe enough to tell your mom, but maybe if you te
  14. hi desertsun welcome here hun. you did just fine with your post. i only joined a few days ago, and was pretty nervous too. i'm so lucky to have found a site where i'm understood and accepted, and have found that i'm not alone. i hope you experience this place the same as i have and find the support you need and deserve. i'm here to listen if you want to talk. i'm looking foward to getting to know you. dawn
