Welcome!

One of the best resources that survivors of abuse have, are other survivors. You are not alone in the world. The best way to let your abuser win is to let them destroy your life by keeping all of the poison trapped inside. If you will communicate with others about your experiences, and listen to theirs, then you will be able to achieve a better life and obtain peace.

The real heart of this site will be your own stories of personal heartache... and success. Tell us your stories, from front to back. Tell us about your tough times, the struggles you have had, yes, and even the horror stories. Then, most important of all, tell us about your successes at moving from being a victim... to becoming a survivor. How did you do this? What steps did you take? What would you recommend for the others that visit this site?

It is in this process of sharing with each other that you will begin to heal and feel better, and we will all gain and become better people... better able to deal with the situations each of us face on a daily basis.

In addition to your comments and responses to each other, our staff will be available to respond to your feelings, comments and questions. If you have questions that require the opinion of a professional (attorney, victim advocate, medical, etc.), we will do our best to have an appropriate professional response within 48 hours.

There is no cost for the use of this blog. We only ask that you use it, share your stories, and respond with support, kindness, suggestions, etc., to the others that share their stories.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORY OR QUESTIONS BY CLICKING survivedvnow@gmail.com.

Also, at the end of each post, there is a link entitled, "comments". If you would like to respond and/or share your reaction to any article, story, or post, simply click on the appropriate "comments" link. You can also read any/all of those comments by clicking on those same links. If you like, you can even respond to the responses.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and read the posts. Then, take time to write your own story and send it along to us where it can be used to help other victims/survivors looking for someone like you to help them. Someone who understands.
