My ex and I called off our wedding nearly two years ago. Before I met her I truly believed that I would never be able to have an intimate relationship. With her help I moved forward and I had hopes and plans for my future instead of looking back on my past. I'd learned to manage my triggers. Then everything came crashing down.

Since I have been struggling again I decided to see if I could find support online from other survivors and that's what brought me here. Thank you for having me.
