Title: New Member (Potential Trigger Warning)
Post by: Grabia on October 04, 2024, 05:23:20 AM
Hi everyone. I'm nervous/excited to be here. I was subject to childhood molestation and incest. As a child and teenager I witnessed the physical and verbal abuse of my mother.

I was in a few abusive relationships with my ex husband and father of my child. I am in active recovery with a trauma therapist and doing some daily writing. I'm tired of feeling bad about myself and just muddling through life. I don't want to leave my 40s. Inky...

Hello Grabia, welcome to the forum.

It's a big step to trust a community with painful experiences. Life can get better as you learn to lean on others for support.

There's a lot here. I hope you find what's right for you.  :hug:
