From people who came through it

  • β€œFor anyone new to this: In 2023, that was me. It was remembering in my thirties and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again.”

    Bruce V Β· been through childhood abuse survivors
  • β€œI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Telling one person the full truth helped me more than anything.”

    Nadia S. Β· been through childhood abuse survivors
  • β€œI was in the same place this time last year. What my stepfather did. That was every day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”

    Martine B. Β· been through childhood abuse survivors
  • β€œI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. My mom did not believe me, and I couldn't see past it. I wake up most days without that dread. It's slow, but it does come back. Sending love.”
