Auto or stick? I assume you mean auto.

Hopefully it is a solenoid problem. It could point to a servo, band or broken reaction shell. Reaction shell will cause you to lose reverse as well. Was the trans recently overhauled?

I dont think so but i know it has been sitting for awhile like a year or more without much driving. Where would this reaction shell be?

Reaction shell is in the center of the trans. It is a hard part.
Based on your description, sounds like a solenoid issue.
