I was born in MA and moved to CA at a young age. I have moved all around Orange County and Northern CA. I am a photographer, well, trying to be one. I just found out about Rainn and than found this site. I thought it would be help full to talk to other people who have been threw similar issues along with a counselor. I was relived to see there is a place to talk to others. But in the feeling sad that there needed to be a place at all. Not many of my freinds talk about what they have gone threw. Like the person who made this wonderful site, I too want to make a difference, during and after I deal with my abuse.

Hi Pippi,

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry you have a need to be here but I'm very glad you found us. I know how much it meant to me to find the company of others who've been where I've been and experienced what I've experienced. I've always known I wasn't (couldn't be) the only person in the world to experience what I have but that was kind of like only intellectual knowledge. Finding others to talk with has helped me be a lot easier on myself.

By the way, I'm now in NY (western, near Rochester) but I'm originally from northern California. As much as I like New York, I still miss my Humboldt County. I suppose I always will. Again, welcome to After Silence!

Thank you for all your support and encouraging words. Now I know why there are so many members. It feels good to talk openly about this with people who understand.
