Hey, I'm new here too..

One thing I can say is that I can totally relate to you because the same thing happened to me.. You're doing really well already, in talking to some people about it. It can take a very long time to get to that point and it was the same with me, but then again, no-one believed me, but that's another story.

I think you're doing well in getting help with it and with self harm.. You need to give yourself time to heal, don't be too hard on yourself..

I'm glad that you are happy and have a family of your own, it shows that you were able to move on enough to enable yourself to trust men again
