@elenagracehealing: You kept choosing softer words, waiting for better moments, and finding new ways to explain what hurt you. Eventually, you realized the problem wasn't always how you communicated. Sometimes, the other person already understood that something hurt you, but their behavior never changed. You shouldn't have to keep finding the perfect words to make your feelings matter. #emotionalinvalidation #emotionalabuse #relationshippatterns #selfworth #healthyboundaries
