I don't want to push you to share details that you are not comfortable putting out there, but you might be more likely to get a response from someone whose story is similar to yours if you could give a bit more information on what your circumstances were. You don't have to be too graphic, but a few basic facts would be helpful, such as mentioning how old you were when the abuse began and ended, if the perpetrator was a stranger, family friend, or family member, and whether there was grooming involved or force.
For instance, a step-dad abused me from age 6 to 13, a gang of bullies all during 6th and 7th grades, and a stranger once when I was about 15. there was never any grooming - it was all forced.
I am sure that if you can bring yourself to be a little more specific, you will get a good response from other survivors who will volunteer to chat with you.
best wishes for healing,
