Hi!
I've just joined and my email from Serenity suggested that I post a brief hello here to start.
I lived through an abusive marriage in my early 20s, and have had every therapist I've seen suggest that I was sexually abused as a child (which I have no recollection of--however, I have no memories from the first 10 years of my life) but I mainly joined isurvive in order to get advice on how best to support and love on my boyfriend who is a survivor of childhood abuse (I posted my main question regarding this in the Our Loved Ones forum).
After browsing a little as I waited to have my account activated, I have some hope that being a part of this community will also help me as I continue to heal from my own personal experience.
Thanks for having me.
New Here (hi)

Hi, i am very new here myself, but hey, welcome anyway. I strongly believe the best help you can provide for you SO is helping yourself. Make you are fine and healthy, especially mentally. As a child abuse survivor i can tell you there is nothing i needed more other than a healthy friendly adult next to me, from whom i can learn how to be one myself.
