Hi, I'm new here too. I have been sitting on anger turned inward as depression for 45 years. After all this time I am just now admitting to myself the truth about my anger. It finally broke out two nights ago, and I told my husband what happened to me. It was a relief to let someone know and realize that they would still love me. I'm not sure if I will ever be able to tell any of my family or friends, so I am hoping to find other people through this forum that can understand.

Hi, Im new here too, havent even shared my story. But I will say this, I thought I was past it, that because I buried the childhood abuse that I was ok. Unfortunately, here I am 45 years later and I'm just coming to terms with it now. I have only ever told 2 people my story, and that has only been in the past week. I don't know if one can ever be truly past it, or if we just bury it deep inside and pretend we are ok. I am tired of pretending and I am hoping that this forum will help.
