Intro

I think this is the hardest thing I ever have typed into a computer. To admit that I need help from others.

I was molested as a kid. Many years ago. But I can't forget it.

I guess I just wanted to say it.
 
Martym,

There you go - you said it. That's a big step my friend, and please believe it was the same way for ALL of us when we first came here.

I hope you will become a part of our discussions and talks here. There is a lot to hear and learn and share, and you will see that here you are believed and understood. You aren't alone anymore!

Ease into things at your own pace, as you feel comfortable and safe. It's 100% normal to be jittery at first - don't worry about it.

I'm glad you found us.

Much love,
Larry
 
Martym,

It is always hard to express feelings like this to anybody, a real hard step.

You did it though and pressed the post button wondering what reply you would get.

Post what and when you want, welcome,

Martym,

You're here now. Take some time, look around, say as little or as much as you need to. You aren't alone, my friend.
 
Martym

Welcome aboard Martym. May I offer a reason for you to hope? I have been here for 3 months now reading these message boards and asking questions and answering those questions that I feel I can help with.

I have come to learn things about myself and about what was done to us, how much damage was done that I didn't know before, and I'm starting to learn what can be done if one tries to heal from the dreadful wounds of the past. The time you spend here will be well spent. There are many good people here that can help you with almost anything you want to know about sexual abuse recovery.
 
Martym.

I have also just joined. For 32 years I have been living within a confused state of mind. Although I have told my parents and my wife that I was abused I never tolded them what I was still doing.

I have only been reading the posts for a week. And for the first time in my life I can talk to someone who understands. Someone who has gone through the same as me.

I have always visited porn sites. Always looking at the negative side of the coin.

Now I have turned that coin around and are looking at positive stuff in the web like this site. And I know that inside me, there is a change happening.

All my feelings are opening up and I can talk about my life.

Keep on being positive and read here all the post. They have certainly help me so far.

I still have a long long way to go but are confidant that I will change.

Welcome, brother.
I believe you will come to know this place as a source of wisdom and of acceptance. We were all scared witless the first time we posted, but it turns out that this is a safe and nonjudgmental place that you want to keep coming back to just about every day.
Love, etc.,
 
I had the same fears before I confided in the board of my abuse. now with the help of my renewed faith and the understanding of friends family I am well on the way to finally putting the past in the past. Welcome to the board !!!!!!!
 
Welcome My Friend,

I agree. I think you DID just type the hardest thing you ever typed. I know. I did it a few months ago, and when I did a whole new world opened up to me. One where I have found loving, caring, and supportive men who truly care about what happens to me, and I them. It was like I had finally come home.

My hope is that you, too, will find what you have been looking for.

As one of our alumni used to say "Welcome to the clubhouse boys like us never had".

Lots of love,

John
 
Martym,

Welcome to the board and, if you can, give yourself a pat on the back for typing those first few words.

You are no longer alone. Take your time and when you're ready we're here to listen. Know that there's much support and no judgements here. You can be as free as you wish to be.

Best regards,

Zipser
 
Welcome, Martym, to a place of instant understanding. "I was molested as a kid." is a sentence elsewhere, but is a book here. We're all here for you, as others have been and are here for us. Welcome. Bobby
 
Martym,

You have just made the first, the hardest, and yet the most grand step onto the path of recovery.

Welcome.
 
"I was molested as a kid."

Martym, that cuts like a knife to say that doesnt it?

Youve taken a great, courageous step in joining us. Make it worth the effort stick around and see the change in us and you as we help one another like no other place can.

Welcome friend.
 
Hi Martym. I've just joined MS & it feels like a really good place. Reading the messages is helping me make a lot more sense of my life. I hope you'll find it a good place for you too.
