Hello

[WolfFromAshes]

Hi everyone, I’m new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

I chose the name WolfFromAshes because I’ve been through a lot, and I’m working on rebuilding my life from things that tried to break me when I was very young. I’m a survivor of childhood abuse, and I’ve carried those experiences mostly in silence for decades.

I’ve told very few people in my life, and this is the first time I’m stepping outside of my family and trying to connect with others who understand this kind of pain. I’m here because I want to heal, grow, and eventually help others too.

I still get emotional talking about what happened, and some days are harder than others but I’m ready to start shedding the shame and finding peace.

Thank you for holding space. I’m really grateful to be here.

Hi WolfFromAshes.

Welcome to AfterSilence. I am very sorry for all you've been thru and the struggles you still face. It was not fair or deserved. You have found a very supportive community tho. You will find much understanding and kindness here. 

I am glad to know that you are starting to shed the shame. It should never have been yours to begin with. Abusers who do such things should feel that shame, but sadly the hardly ever do. You did nothing and could do nothing that warranted such pain. 

Feel free to look around and interact where you feel comfortable. We are glad you found your way here. I wish you many steps forward as you continue your path in healing. 

Mary

Dear wolftoashes

 

Welcome to After Silence!!

 

I'm sorry for what you have been through. I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud. Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted. It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well. Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

 

I am sending you lots of safe hugs!

 

Take care!
