One thing a therapist teaches after leaving an abusive relationship is to trust your gut
An abuser wants to make you feel like the problem. Escaping is about owning your truth again
I think it’s interesting about the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation is that people are saying “oh she went back” or “she said she still loved him”
It takes so many times for someone to actually get the courage to leave an abusive relationship. This is on both parts
I was STRONG to leave that relationship. Leaving a physically abusive relationship is the scary. But I did it. I made it out. And I am one of few that do. You can’t use an accomplishment as an insult.
