In reply to Amy Lynn. Welcome to Heal Write Now. Amy. You are not the only outspoken survivor and I love how writing (reading it, sharing it and writing it) can help us feel our strength when we've lost touch. I'm so glad you came over to comment. There's a small but powerful private group on Facebook as well if you'd like to be part of that. Thanks for visiting.

Thank you so so so much for the article “How to tell your lover you survived childhood sexual abuse”. I stumbled upon this article on the Elephant Journal page on Facebook , which then lead me to your page. I’ve been searching for some kind of article I could actually relate to and this made me feel strong again. I hope to learn more about your page and “Heal write now”. I tried to build a successful life and hide my truth and its just not possible. I do not have a local support group I can go to. I’ve been told to keep what happened buried inside so others won’t know what happened to me and/or think “bad” of me. Thank you for sharing this article because I feel that I’m not the only one who wants to speak up and help others by sharing my survival story. There should be no shame with being a victim to incest/childhood sexual abuse.
