I honestly hate being called strong for sharing my trauma. I want to hear "I'm so sorry you went through that. You didn't deserve it. I'm here for you, you're safe now, you can cry if you need to." I'm not strong, I just had to accept my past is what it is and that most people can't handle hearing about it or watching me break when I share.

I see you, I got rid of most of the clothes I wore during my most recent abusive relationship because the flashbacks are so bad. I won’t even wear the same jewelry I wore because it triggers me so bad

My favorite thing ever told to me is it was just as important to be weak when I need to be weak as it is to be strong when I need to be strong. I don't feel ashamed of my "bad days" as much anymore bc it'd be hard as hell to have good days without. I quite literally call them my weak and strong days lol

I’m over 30 years out. The mental and physical abuse I experienced has ruined all of my following relationships. I’ve been in therapy for years which is probably why I’m still alive. But I don’t know how to have a loving relationship with men.

2 years out of one abusive marriage. 4 months out of a toxic abusive relationship ... comming into my own again and staying strong. your videos help me with that. also, my sister and I call makeup war paint because it's the paint used to combat the day.

I’m so happy I found you and so appreciate your stories that help me feel validated in my own experiences with my abusive ex husband . It’s the little things that chip away at our self worth & the pain doesn’t just go away. I’ve haven’t been with him for over 7 years & it’s still hard, but it’s getting better

The flashbacks are real. I still have horrible memories and dreams 10 years later. I’m living my best life by myself so happily… but the bad flashbacks still hit.

I hate being called strong and resilient. That’s basically saying “wow, you can get you ass kicked and not die so well.”

thank you for sharing. I feel like 3 out of 5 of my relationships were abusive. but i could never explain even to myself exactly why I felt abused. I saw a lot of your videos today. and I can see now why I couldn't articulate it before. I relate to how you said im not stronger on good or bad days. we are always strong. crying is the greatest act of defiance of abuse we can do. do it often. its medicine. it takes courage to be vulnerable. it takes courage to leave. it takes courage to heal. it takes courage to feel. it takes courage to stay. it takes courage to endure it. it takes courage to stop it. it takes courage to talk about it. it takes courage not to talk about it. to anyone reading... your courage and strength are always there. you deserve grace and kindness always. the impact can be persistent. but so can you!! advice i wish i listened to... resist the urge to take on a new relationship until you are sure you can be prepared to refuse to be abused again, and are sure you know what abuse actually looks like... because it's quieter than we realize. you're worth all of the effort it takes to be whole.

Been through it many times, and going through it again, but it's different this time. The psychological impact has been harder to untangle for me, and age hasn't made it easier. Thank you for sharing. Your story has given me perspective that I desperately needed.
