From people who came through it

  • β€œSorry, this got long. I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I keep my documents in a bag at a friend's house, just in case.”

  • β€œFor someone starting childhood abuse survivors: I know it's hard. I told my mum and she didn't believe me. That hurt more than anything. But you are not alone. I started therapy at 45. It's never too late. Take it slow. One step at a time. And if you need to talk, I'm here. I might not have the right words, but I can listen.”

  • β€œPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and I keep my documents in a bag at a friend's house, just in case and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
