I'm so sorry, my heart goes out to you for having lives these horrible things, both for yourself, and having lost someone to domestic violence.
But I would like to throw in my two cents' worth ~ as long as you're someone who knows to walk away in those situations (and kudos to you for doing that. Seriously. There are so many who are cowed or manipulated into staying in abusive relationships, so that's no small thing you did.), as long as you know you've got the strength to escape abuse, then you won't miss, or mess up your life.
I don't know how recently this happened, but I think you need to give yourself time to process. I think it's normal after an assault to be a little jumpy, just as long as you keep in mind that not all men are like that, because that would be a shame, and who knows what wonderful experiences, and great love that could rob you of?
Much love<3
Thank you so much 💜.
It's very recent and yes, I'm giving myself time to recover. It's not been easy but I'm trying.
I really had to convince myself that not all men are like that tbh. For now self love is the ultimate.
Thanks again for your calming comment <3
I randomly found this podcast (no idea who these girls are, but they have great insight and energy), and it reminded me of this post:
Thus is really powerful. I'm definitely checking up this account on YouTube and subscribing to it. The energy here is what I need to heal slowly. Bless you for being so kind. You're the best. Glad I met you💜
Apparently it was a lucky find, as it really picked me up too, and turned out to be needed (even if I didn't realize it). Yeah, it's lovely to know you, too <3
🤗🤗🤗
You will. The human spirit has immense, unfathomable capacity to heal, I promise you <3
Always. How could we create good, healthy relationships with others, if we don't love ourselves?
Listening to this as I write this comment, and it speaks to my soul. It's a sad, old song, but I find something very freeing in it. So maybe someone else will too. Have a beautiful week!
I know but I just want to cry it all out.
Thank you for sharing this video with me. I'm actually asking the same question she's asking but I guess the answer is; that's just life.
...so cry. Don't suppress it, 'cause crying can actually be really healing, and soothing. You need to let that emotion out, and you need to give yourself space to feel miserable. A couple years back, I went through a very painful breakup. I was devastated, and just would cry randomly over the next 3 months or so. But now, it's two years later, and I look back on it, and all that emotion is gone. I no longer wanna cry, even as I have compassion for myself as I was then, and I'm so, so glad it ended when it did.
One day, sooner than you think, you're gonna look back on it, and not wanna cry, and thank whatever you wanna thank (maybe yourself) for pulling you out of there when it (you) did <3
This actually is my conviction. I'll cry in silence till I can't anymore and yes, Even right now I'm glad I pulled out the right time. It feels good somehow that I didn't go so far.
When all this is long past, you'll go further than you ever even imagined while you were in that bad place <3 Much love. Hope you're having a great week.
