Hi and welcome. I'm glad you are facing your abuse with help and I know it is terrifying, especially with generations of your family affected. If there are people in your life, whether family or friends, who you feel cannot support you -- even if you want their support -- please remember that there are many other people who can listen and support you. You do not have to be alone with this. I really encourage you to keep reaching out and trust you instincts about who you are ready to disclose to or turn to for help. But most important, do find people you can lean on -- recovery alone is really painful, and it does not have to be that way. You deserve better for yourself. And people will certainly be here on this site for you.

Be well,
