hello all from married to a survivor

[rick_m]

Hello, married 15 years to a wife who experienced SA before i met her.  I was the first one she told this to.   

I am joining to share our emotions and situations if thats a thing to do, or to chat how our marriage has evolved.   I think joining here is my wife of getting out of the vacuum we have lived in with each other and seeing how others have managed this process.   through ups and downs we love each other and through changing dynamics i am there for her as best as she allows.

Hello rick

Welcome to  AS.   I am sorry to hear that you've had to find us, but  glad you did.  I am sad to hear that someone you care about has experienced trauma.  It is always wonderful to see someone willing and wanting to help their family member or friend through this   difficult time.   Just being there for them and letting  them talk without fear of judgement is the absolute best gift you can give them.  Please know and understand that we are also here to support you.  I hope that being here will help you to be able to support your loved one as best as you possibly can.  Please lean on us for support if you need.  

Wishing you all the best!!!

Hi! Welcome! It's good you're here! It's good you're reaching out for support. That's such an important step and can be so difficult. I'm proud of you for that, if that's okay to say.

thank you all for the welcome.  I am just trying to see another path and looking to see how others have managed these events past and present in order to adjust my own ways in helping her
