You are certainly welcome here, and, yes, you are a survivor. You survived everything that has happened to you, and you are here with us now. You will be a survivor for as long as you live.

I hope that you find a way to reclaim your life, your hopes, and your dreams. I know it isn't easy, but you have choices now that you didn't have back then. There's no easy say to just turn off the nightmares and memories, but they can be lessened with time and therapy. And those things never have to happen to you again.

Hang in there, and talk to us, or keep talking to someone IRL when you need extra support. There are good people out there too, and if you allow it, you will find some that you can trust and be safe with. Let them help you. You deserve so much more.
