Hi everyone, I am new to SSA. My name is Andrew, I am a survivor of CSA. It has taken me 40 years to finally open up about my abuse.

Cheers, Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to the forum. Like many others it took me many years to open up about the abuse I suffered as a child. Now that I am 'working through it' it really does feel like a huge weight has been lifted. No more secrets! It certainly is not an easy journey to go through, but just understanding why I am as I am really helps. On a 'bad' day it is easier to recognise why I feel like that .

Regards
