Hello I'm new

[Mirden]

Hello I'm new here. So glad I found this. Maybe I can take some of the stress off my husband now. He's the only one who knows everything and he's been a huge help. He'll even sleep with the light on if I need it.

Hello!  Welcome to AS.

I am hopeful that you will love it here and that being here brings you peace, comfort and healing.

Your husband sounds amazing!

Best wishes,
Capulet

Thank you. He's been my rock with all of this. I have hid my pain for about 15 years. No one knows what my life has been but him and when I did open up I had to type it out because I'm a selective mute.

Well, it matters none how you communicate things - what matters is you're getting things out and you're allowing him (and perhaps others now) to support you throughout your healing journey.  

I, too, choose to type things out - it sometimes makes certain words and feelings easier to convey that way.  There are so, SO many ways to get your thoughts out - writing is my personal favorite and being able to do so has been a tremendous outlet.

Wishing you luck - I'm sure you'll fit in here with no troubles!

Welcome to AS @Mirden

I am glad your husband is supportive, mine is too and it makes things easier but it’s also good to have other survivors to talk to I find. I hope you can find your way around here and feel supported in your healing.
