@healingbythenumbers_: This is the part I’m not thrilled to admit.l but here goes. When he apologized and begged me to come back, I said we could pause on divorce. And that decision absolutely left the door open to resuming my abusive relationship. But listen to me: survivors do not stay because we are stupid. We stay because we are human, and because we love VERY deeply. And there’s beauty in that, not shame. Follow for the final day of Escape Plan AND what comes after escape. #EscapePlan #TraumaBond #DomesticViolenceAwareness #EmotionalAbuse #Toxicrelationship

On Thursday I learned my 14 year old has also been watching this series from the very start ( and she follows you lol) so not only are you helping current women but your helping future women who hopefully never need to do this but know about someone strong who did ❤️

Leaving does not shut off feelings but it also doesn't magically fix a broken person nor does it stop the abuse.

I called my ex after we broke up, luckily his brother in law answered the phone and said “Why are you calling? You got out. He wasn’t good for you. He’ll be fine, you need to walk away.” I was freed.

my ex apologized and begged, too. I agreed to some dates, with some conditions. He behaved for two dates. On the third, he crossed one of the boundaries within 5 minutes. I pointed it out and he apologized. Five minutes later he crossed another of my boundaries, and I got up and left. There was no fourth date.

Most victims go back multiple times before finally getting out for good. I love you being open about how hard it is to leave emotionally because it gives so much context to why that is

THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THIS PART. You can get SO far and yet somehow they'll find one little string to pull you back. it's messy and confusing and you lose SO many friends in the process!!

This is the hardest part. It's the second guessing. You have to plan for this part too. you have to script this part too.

I’ve intentionally watched your series… not out of need for a plan but to better understand one example of the complexities of what it takes to escape these relationships. I’ve never even thought “just leave” as I knew better… but this was, just wow. Thank you for what it took to share all of this!

Its such a difficult and unavoidable part of the process. Even when you know nothing will change, and you’d never feel safe with them again, a part of you still desperately wants to ignore that and believe it could. 💕

You are saving lives with this series. It's so easy to go back, but recognizing that the good parts are part of the abuse cycle is so important. ❤️
