So glad for you friend. Your plans sound great. Keep dreaming and making plans they don't always work out exactly as we want but making them gives us power in shaping our lives where we are the boss. Keeping you company during this part of your journey

Hi welcome to AS so sorry what you have been through. Know that you are not alone. Many people here can relate to your words about recovered memories. For me it was not accessing them like not having all the files open on your desk top on your computer. Also, there are things that happen in childhood that in the light of adult eyes may look very different from what we understood as children. We remember when we are ready to start healing. Sitting with you. A

Hi welcome to AS Ingrid. So glad you found us. Know that you are not alone. Many people here can relate to your words.

welcome lara @Vacuousmonkey to this safe place. So glad you found us

Welcome back friend. So sorry for what you have been through. Know that you are not alone. The shame and blame are on the perpetrator. When I first got to AS I only read posts and also left many times. I used to keep forgetting my PW and the site all together and then suddenly would remember. The moderators were wonderful and always helped me get back in. This site has been great for me as I don't have to explain too much for other survivors to get it. Also I have learned from others peoples' experiences. Keeping you company during this part of your journey

So glad you are starting therapy. It really does help. I have found even the times it wasn't a perfect match. It was time invested in me and it always did help to take time out to sort things out and have a person dedicated to help me achieve my goals towards healing. You got out very recently. You are incredibly strong and amazing. We can feel we will never laugh and have fun or even be silly again. You will have all those things in an older you. 28 is young and a fantastic age. It is when we start learning what you want and our place in the world. I am glad you are here dear Sa

So glad you are here friend and that you got out. Please be kind and patient with you. It is a process. You will find a place in the world even though it is very different from the one you left ten years ago. You are worth it and so very valuable. You will feel safe again and find your special place in the world again. Little by little. Each step at a time. Know that you are not alone. This is doable. Not feeling or feeling detached is very normal. Your sense of trust and place in the world was shattered. It can be built again to something new. I realized I couldn't rescue the past
