I think that's a great question, onlymedid.

I feel like that is some of why we have separate forums for things; so people who are familiar with, interested in, or comfortable dealing with/talking about those topics have a place to discuss them.

I think it is good to get the poison out of our systems about past abuse; the past can't hurt us now, it is in the past. But it is against the posting guidelines to talk in detail about current abuse, mostly because one should be getting immediate help, medical or whatever, not talking here on the forums about it. And current graphics would be very triggering.

Often reading other peoples' histories can help us not feel as alone with our own struggles. I think one can find lots of histories (with triggers if they are very detailed) in the appropriate forums.
