Well, welcome , we need you here Cathy.

Not sure that it's necessary to trust first here. Just read and poke through all the little corners of the site and you'll start to feel inside yourself who is and isn't right to bare your secrets too. It takes time, but being here is a helluva start.

Blessings sister,

Hi and welcoem to AS

You are free to give as much or as little infomation as you want or need - trust is big thing for many people here - but after you get to know people and feel safer you might want to say more - but it is entirely up to you

best wishes

thank you. so how did you find this site?

[determined 1]

The same way you did I'd imagine, I was at the end of my rope one night crying like a water faucet, lovely little snot box that I am and googled child sexual abuse and this amazing site was the first one I clicked. Never got any further, I fell in love with AS in a matter of days I think. LOL

Blessings,

Hi and welcome, Cathy. Take your time and look around. No need to rush yourself into sharing. When I first stumbled across this site, I couldn't even bring myself to register for 5 months. Just that you're here and you're looking for a place to start is a big step. It's a start in itself.

I hope you find the support you need.
