Well yes, I often get drunk and cry. lol

But seriously, I have a hard time trusting others, too. But it was easy here not because it's the internet and anonymous. What makes it easy is that here for the first time I met folks who know from experience what I'm talking about. They allowed me to see that it is time for me to move on with my life and not let my past hold me back. And the great thing is that I have an opportunity to do the same for them.

We talk about support, but it's really about giving and getting support that helps us all the most. When we give and get we find ourselves in the best position to heal. If we only try to help others and hold ourselves apart we cannot heal because we will not allow ourselves to do it.

You are not alone in this. There are more stories here than you can imagine. As you hang around you will learn to see things differently, and to see the opportunities to give and to get.
