Abuse is abuse, folks. your experiences were as bad on you as mine were on me. it all does the same to us, making it hard to trust and hard to love. Sometimes, it makes us just feel worthless. Abuse causes us to carry baggage around that others must deal with if they want to be a part of our lives...so the victim list may start with the abused, but it doesn't end there. We are all changed by it.
We definitely want to see you all there, no matter what abuse you've survived, or what the situatuion was....or what the situation is. No one will be judged, i would hope we all speak freely, and be honest. Cuss, cry, throw a frikkin fit, y'all, that's all a part of healing and helping.
If you're just curious....show up.
If you're a survivor or currently abused now...show up.
If you've been abused in the scene...show up.
If you're attached or attracted to a survivor......show up.
If you don't have anything to share...show up.
We're all here to support one another, that's the main idea. i believe that everything happens for a reason.... When we cannot find strenth in ourselves, we can find it in others, and borrow it...right? One day, hour, minute, second, or breath at a time. We all support one another in our lifestyle and the journeys that are included in it. This is another journey, and we should have a path and location for that support as well...as it applies to our community, and our families, friendships and relationships.
