Ticked off octopus Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Good morning! I actually joined this forum a few days ago, but have been procrastinating writing anything until now. Kind of a mix of being terrified to talk out loud about what happened, and happy to be somewhere where others will (hopefully) understand. I'm a 47 year old woman who experienced SA at the hands of the man who I thought loved me about two years ago, and still struggling with it. Link to post
ActivistAlly Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hello Octopus and welcome to After Silence! I'm sorry that you went through SA but I'm glad that you found this site and I hope you will feel comfortable to talk and that you will find understanding here from the members of After Silence. It's okay to take things at your own pace and you can post as much or as little as you like with no obligation to do so. I hope you will find everyone at After Silence supportive and helpful as you struggle with healing from what you experienced. Link to post
