Claire, don't worry about what other's might think of your story. This is a safe space and there is no hierarchy of abuse to compete for who had the worst experience. Our damage is our own. What is important is how it affects you and that you survived.

I am glad that this thread has helped you and I hope that you can find the support you need. Whether or not you ever share your story, we are here for you.
