Hey everyone. I've been on DS for quite a while, mostly in the rape and sexual abuse groups, I wasn't even aware that an incest one existed! It was my grandfather, when I was 7. So hi, I'll be around, feel free to contact me, any one of you, should you need anything.

Best to all,

Isn't it strange which group we go to first? I was raped and sexually abused but am not a member of either group...

I really debated about joining the incest one because I didn't want my
"friends" in my other groups to see. Even though I don't feel guilty in any way there is still so much shame associated with incest.

I hate to see new members because of what you have gone through but I am glad you found us. If you need anything... holler!

I find the incest group to be the best one. You are among a group of wise, strong, and incredibly intuitive people.

This group was first started by a young, brave DS member and then DS made it an official support group recently.

I find incest has it's own unique set of issues.

I hope you find it as helpful as I have. Oh, and welcome!
