New And Scared

[rainbow1]

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I was sexually abused from the age of 8-12yrs and have just started to really deal with things now. I'm not ready to say much more than that yet but I guess this is the first big step. I'm really scared and not sure what to expect but i'd like to try and write it all down eventually.

Welcome to the forum, rainbow. I know it's hard. We all do. Many people here are victims of child sex abuse. There are definitely people here who know your pain. We all are here to support each other. Even if you're not ready to talk, look around. Maybe you'll see someone whose story is similar to your own who can encourage you, even if they don't know you're reading!

Welcome to the forum :)

I'm so sorry to hear you were abused when you were young. I haven't posted anything about my abuse either yet, so don't feel bad, everyone shares at their own pace.
