Emotional Abuse Survival

Emotional abuse survival isn’t just about getting to the next day, its a lifelong journey to unlearn all the destructive beliefs you have been forced to internalize over the years. You don’t even know how much you need to unlearn until you start digging and then things can pop up years later that you suddenly realize are lies. Things you accepted at truth, that shaped your worldview will be brought to light for the destructive forces they are.

So don’t give up if you left thinking yo will be fine now that your not hearing the abuse on a daily basis, you will be better, and you will be healing, but it takes time. Maybe even a lifetime. And there is no shame in healing as fast or as slow as you need to. <3

They call us “hard women”, as if survival could ever be delicate.

How he treats you, is how he feels about you. Period.

In order to save myself I must destroy the first me I was told to be

“Of course I loved him” she said, “You don;t give people you don’t love the power to destroy you.

I felt so much I started to feel nothing.

Loving someone doesn’t make them deserve you.

Just remember when you’re ignoring her, you’re teaching her how to live without you.

Don’t stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare.
