DavoSwim Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 02/06/13 Posts: 116 Loc: Iowa, USA	I'm new here. I'm a little scared, as I'm only beginning to address the abuse I've suffered. I have been burying the memories for 30 years now, but for some reason the thoughts have been coming back now. It's time to seek help. I feel a sense of belonging by joining this group. Thanks

Suwanee Registered: 10/30/12 Posts: 305 Loc: SE USA	DavoSwim, Welcome to the MS forum. I've only been here since last fall, but everyone has gone out of their way to be helpful. Of course, I think I speak for everybody else that we are truly sorry for what brought you here. Take your time to process your thoughts and share as much or as little as you want. Like you, I held on to my secret for a long, long time before I felt--no, I was compelled to get it off of my chest. I've come a long way, but still have a ways to go. That's true for most of us. MS, my wife and my therapist (I finally sought one) are my tripartite attack against this thing.

Jude Registered: 08/08/12 Posts: 792 Loc: New England	Originally Posted By: DavoSwim ...been burying the memories for 30 years now... Welcome Davo. It took me 42 years to come to terms with it, but I can tell you that if you do the work of recovery, recovery comes. Hope we hear more from you. Be well.
