I found a support group.

It meets on Wednesday nights and they even have free childcare available.

I am wondering if listening to other people's stories and finding someone that I can relate to would help me to start feeling comfortable opening up about my own crap.

Thumbs up. Do it.

[cheesierthanchedda]

That's awesome, jlm! I think it will definitely help you.

[sprky79]

I think it might help you to know that you are not the only person to have these types of things happen to you and that it is ok. Go. Give it a shot.

[LLL]

that's great news

[saraandmichael]

this is fantastic!

and i think a really good thing for you to go to. understanding that what he did was not your fault is huge. and talking with others who have been there and are coming out on the other side just like you can be very empowering.

This is very brave of you and I hope that it helps you move toward healing.

This is great news! I hope you are able to find some peace and healing thru this.

I'm not sure of the back story, but I am happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself. Sit and listen until you are ready to take part. It's a process. Take good care of yourself.

this is great. good for you.

[dowagercountess]

Fuck yeah.

I'm on my phone. Don't judge.

[flex]

It is very catharic to hear that other people have gone through the same you have, and that they understand.

[alzi]

i seriously think you are awesome. you are so much stronger than you even realize. you and those beautiful girls are going to be JUST fine.

i'm really glad you are taking care of you.

[sugarplum]

Alzi said it best. This will be great for you and I'm so happy your taking care you. It will be hard, but so good for you.

[speckledfrog]

I agree with everyone. It's so validating to know you aren't alone, even if you knew you weren't.

Yes it will. When you know you're not alone it's so much easier.

Good for you for following up.
