Hi Josh and welcome.It's very hard to support a survivor--and I assume that's what you refer to.One of the best pieces of advice I've seen is to take time out...
Greetings to all, Where to begin...this is I suppose, a ventilation...a great exhalation after a long hard week (month!). I, along with all of you, am a...
At the edge of madness stand we here and look upon the abyss- a caged monster of shame and guilt; of rage and darkness. And as we seek to stroke and pet, it...
The issue isn't as cut and dry as it may seem though... being that her and I were "an item" for lack of a better term, and never really broke things off...
Well, D is home now and I have a question. Over labor day, his sister came to visit from out of state. I was told she was angry with me because I was upset...
Hello, I am not a survivor myself. The man I love, the one I plan to spend the rest of my life with, just confided in me that he is. I'm at a loss for how to...
Welcome, Try. You will be glad to know that you have found a wonderful portal of caring, supportive, understanding people. This forum has been a true source of...
History aside, her "situation" aside, would you be in a relationship with someone who has remaining issues from a previous lover ? Would you expect someone to...
To answer your question, I don't think you're crazy and I think you should pay close attention to those alarms going off in your head. I think you've got good...
I'll give you my impressions based on what I know of SA survivors (partly through firsthand experience) and what I see in what you've wrote... Unless she's had...
To all of those that kept me sane when all around me was insanity - thank you. Since I last wrote (a long time ago), I have chosen to abandon my life with a...

DO not be so hard on yourself. You did not give up on her she gave up on you and herself. We partners HAVE to look out for ourselves if we don't who will? The...
CR, It has been a long time, but I am glad to hear that you have weathered it. IT is never an easy choice to leave behind our loved ones but it does happen. I...
Happy, Are there like no other men where you live? From reading your posts I have to ask - Why would you want this guy? I really would suggest counseling for...
I was very moved by your post. It constantly amazes me when I read this newsgroup how much in common the survivors we love have -- I don't mean they're the...
Martin, I can't seem to remember the first time the words 'sexual abuse' were uttered from my partner's mouth...I do recall vividly the day she told me that...
K, Stop ...take a break - you are ripping your heart out - I can see it in your words. You are getting lost in "their" world as much as we think this will...

Hi Chris, thanks for the response. She has trouble linking the affects to her actions sometimes, but when i called her boss this morning to make the excuses,...
I get the impression from what you write that you are her mother and that she's only recently reached the age where she can legally work. I'll go on these...
Thanks Dave, very good advice and a lot of it! I am actually her boyfriend, she's been out of danger for ten years or so now and has been living out her self...
I had one question about something that you wrote in your latest post... ... she ... again ... open ... Is that second quote from her a direct quote? And if...
She used to refer to herself this way but she no longer does, that was just my misquote. I don't know what to do here, her life has been a struggle forever and...
