Hey!! We’re glad you found us!!We are a community of both survivors of abusive relationships and of people who are currently living with abuse. We are people from all walks of life. We are all races, religions and genders. We live in all parts of the world.We’re here because we want to be here. We’re here because we care and we want to help you in every way we can. We’ve all been there and done that. Each and every one of us has walked in your shoes.We have the experience, the compassion, the scars, the nads and the patience. We know when to speak up, when speak out and when to remain silent. We call it how we see it… we value kindness and honesty above all. We also have a great sense of humour… something we all need to make our day a little brighter.We’re also here to learn. With every new friend joining our community… sharing their feelings, thoughts and experiences… we all learn and grow.You can trust us… we’re here for you when you’re ready :)Inter-Active Forum Posting Etiquette:1) We treat each other with kindness, respect and compassion.2) We do not use this community as a grandstand to vent ugly personal vendettas against an abuser by giving their real name, address, phone number or any other personal information. Such posts will be immediately deleted by the forum moderator and the poster may face board restrictions or banning.3) Please watch your language. Yes we are all adults, however, posts filled with nothing but 4-letter vulgarities are neither informative nor interesting. They demonstrate only a lack of linquistic skills and selfish disregard for community etiquette and, as such, will be summarily ejected by the forum moderator.4) Our community is all about positive forward motion and growth. All men are not horrible. All women are not horrible. Please take care that you do not place a whole group of innocent people into a ‘nasty’ collective. Blanketing statements are unfair and not true.
