@sammieejade0: To the woman who’s been made to believe she’ll never survive without him… I was you, and he was wrong. One of the cruelest parts of coercive control is being convinced that the person destroying your life is the very person you need to survive. They slowly strip away your confidence, independence and belief in yourself until leaving feels more terrifying than staying. And the whole time, you’re often the one holding everything together. I know leaving isn’t as simple as walking out the door. I know how impossible it can feel when someone has spent years convincing you that you’re incapable of surviving without them. But I hope one day you get to see yourself through a different lens. Because you were never incapable of surviving without him. He just needed you to believe you were. ❤️ #coercivecontrol #hidden #abuse #awarness #trauma
