A peer support community for adults who experienced sexual abuse as children. This is a place to share our stories, experiences, solutions and support with others who are closer to our own age. We have spouses, children, full time jobs, pensions and other responsibilities that differ from those of our siblings in their teens and younger.

Notice: This subreddit is not actively monitored, so the posts here are only a small subset of what exists on reddit.
