I share details of my violent childhood & 1st marriage because not talking about it contributes to the stigma surrounding DV. Discussion increases awareness, which helps create an environment safer for those of us who are victims and/or survivors. Ignoring something by not talking about it only perpetuates the problem. My story may give someone else the courage to leave a bad situation & live a better life . I refuse to be ashamed of who I am or what I have endured & overcome. #IAmASurvivor
@Oma_Trisha I hope you are better now! Hugs 🤗
Thank you.
I am a work in progress. I will always be a work in progress. I have days where I do well, and days like today where something unexpected triggers me and I fucking flip out. It's part of the healing process and actually a good sign, because you can't heal in an unhealthy environment.
