Un-Silent Sarah

Home

I just started this page and I hope it will grown and develop over the next few months and after that will be a changing venue.  If you have any suggestions, comments, or ideas please feel free to send them to me.

Resources

This is a personal web page designed to establish a forum and hopefully support area for survivors of childhood sexual abuse (or in fact any sexual abuse, but due to my own history my focus will be more towards childhood abuse and incest abuse).  I am going with the name Un-Silent Sarah in an attempt to combat the silence that is needed to perpetuate these acts and maintain freedom for the people who do these atrocities. This is in part a therapeutic exercise for me since I am currently out of the therapy and I have no form of support or help.  By writing here and hopefully focusing on how to help other people, I will be able to help myself; so this page not completely altruistic. The colors I am using for this page don't represent me, but I felt that soothing and calm colors were a good start.  I think I will go with the colors each page feels like it should have.  This means that all the pages will not look the same.  I will try to have all the same links and such in relatively the same places for easy navigating. I had a thought recently.  I don't want anyone to think I am an expert of any sort.  I am just going through these things and healing like everyone else.  I can give better advice than I can follow so don't feel bad if you have trouble doing any of the things I suggest.  I have trouble as well.

Warning

Happiness

This is my first and only warning about this page.  It does anger me that because of what other people have done to me in my life, I have to constantly make sure that others around me are comfortable with what I am saying and doing and I have to treat my past as if it is a dirty secret and that I should be ashamed of it.  Perhaps I will go into that a bit more in the angry sections, but it makes me so mad!  Anyway, this is my warning that the content of this page is graphic and there is no attempt at tact. In reality, that is part of the point of this page.  As survivors we often are looking at how the people we are telling our past to are reacting and when it becomes too much for them we stop or make sure they are alright.  Periodically we need a place where we can just let it all out and say "look, this is what happened to me and it really sucks" without having to worry about other people.
