Hope5678.... I was so young... and I had to stay living with my step-father even after the terrible truth was out. You know, damn con pedophiles, they can "change". I'm sorry for you. I support you. Feel free to email me if you want. I am new too, but I am going to jump in and try to find out who I am after all this. I hope that you can find comfort in knowing that we DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.

Just perusing this site is so jolting. It's been a few days since I logged back in. Just like counseling... the hard days hurt so bad. Thank you for your support.

Then a welcome to you as well RLR. I have been all around After Silence site for a week or two, and some of their links. So I finally decided to step out of the shadows. I am so enthused to discover there are others so brave as to create a place like this. I wish I had known sooner, but I am here now. I'm gonna make the most of it, and I hope that you can too.

Thank you, Roona and determined1, for the warm welcome. I don't quite know how to feel finally having a sense of belonging.. I suppose I should begin by browsing the topics and just letting myself be me.

Hi~! I finally got up the nerve to participate. I am desperately searching for the elusive "cure".... knowing in my heart that it will never go away. I believe that joining this community might be a turn in the right direction. This is a little awkward, so I'll just start by introducing myself and go from there.... My name is Pennie, I'm 37 and saying that I have baggage is an understatement!! I would like to let each of you know that I grieve for you. We are all unique, but also share a bond even as strangers. I am awaiting a reply and questions to help me get started!
