@soulfully.healing: My work was gone. My friends were gone. The life I once loved was gone. And I was still trying to save my marriage. Before him, I had a life I loved. Work that mattered to me. Friendships. Independence. A voice. Years later, I looked in the mirror and struggled to find that woman. I had spent so long explaining his behavior, questioning my reactions, and trying to keep the peace that I stopped asking: “What is happening to ME?” I thought loving harder might bring us closer. Instead, my world kept getting smaller. That is the part of my story I need people to understand this Domestic Violence Awareness Month: the isolation, the control, and the slow loss of who I was. Leaving meant grieving my marriage—and beginning to find myself again. If you recognize yourself in my story, you deserve to be heard. You deserve friendships, choices, safety, and a life where your voice matters. ❤️‍🩹 Follow us at Soulfully Healing as we rebuild, believe, and begin again.
