I Am Trying....hope Support Will Get Me Though It

[Lindseygirl]

Hi everyone. My name is Lindsey and I was groomed into a sexual relationship with my dad beginning around the age of eleven. Tickling, neck rubs and massages throughout five-plus years, under the disguise of love, I learned were just ways for him to gain access to my body. I hope I can share some things over time, but it will be difficult. Please feel free to message me, because I just don't want to write about things yet that will make others sick. Thanks.

Hi. Welcome. I recently found this place and love it. I hope it offers the same comfort to you as it has for me.

We are here to support you and each other. Take your time. I have found it to be difficult sometimes to talk about certain aspects of the abuse that happend to me.. but when I can find a person, therapist or friend or on a place like this to unburden myself it almsot always helps with healing. They say we are 'as sick as our secrets' and by sharing with those who understand we can feel less like a freak and not so much alone in it all. Good luck!!

Welcome!

I don't think anyone here is worried about your stories making us sick. In fact, it would make me sad/sick that you didn't get it all out for fear of it bothering someone else. I think you are incredibly courageous for posting here and I hope you are able to find some peace by sharing your story.

Sending you strength and support! Post as you are able and keep in mind most of us here share a similar story and understand how incredibly scary this process is. Hang in there! I am very sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks so much for the encouragement! In only a weeks time, I already feel very welcomed and blessed to be part of this community.

Welcome Lindsey. I am old member returning from ptsdforums but new here. Welcome. You are so brave to share. I am so glad you've gotten support here. Here's to you!:applause:I too am afraid I might say too much then trigger someone else off.

Thank you Winterrose. I was worried about saying to much, but then I read on here it is actually encouraged. My therapist also told me I should speak my mind. Hope you share!

Hi Lindseygirl - we posted each other earlier and I am glad to see your introduction - I am new here too and finding the support amazing. I have held onto my secrets for too long. I am 50 now and really encourage you to get your stories out and begin the healing before you hit a half century. If you can do it, Lindseygirl, everyone here is going to support you with positive messages and helpful ideas. But only you can decide if you are ready - you have already started posting, so that's got you on your way. Congratulations!
