Dear Kelly Welcome back this is still llovley community I been here since 2010 I think when I joined

There are days when years happen. (I wonder if at some point in my life it will all be too much to explain, too many details. Potential problems and anxieties, and glimmers of fantasies of the future. Maybe that's why geriatrics have to be especially good story tellers - otherwise their listeners wait for them to end their sentences or pass on prior to completion with indifference as to how your story ends.) I wanted to say that I learned something, from meeting up with my abuser's current girlfriend, who has a son the same age range as my boys. She tells me that she has been single for s

Hello, @Kelly1225. Welcome back!

Hey Kelly! Great to have you back. I joined in 2007, did we overlap? I feel like we may have but there have been a few Kelly's. I was just wishing the old days at AS would come back, it was so busy all the time. It's kind of quiet now so it's nice to see an 'old face'! ❤️ Welcome back

Kelly, Altho we've already spoken, wanted to send you an official welcome back! The community may have some new faces (or usernames) to you, but the kindness remains from those early days. I'm truly glad you've found your way back. Mary We you back!

Welcome back Kelly 😊

Hi. My name is Kelly and I am an old member returning. I originally joined in 2004 back when the board was pretty new. I found so much support and made friends with people I am still in contact with 21 years later. There is so much power that comes from connecting with others who have walked in the same shoes. I knew very few survivors before I came to AS and although I was sad to find so many others, it was also a relief that I was no longer alone. I am here to offer support in any way I can. -Kelly
