      I’ve had a breakthrough today. All my hard work has paid off. There’s been a fundamental shift in me. I’ve forgiven myself – not only for the errors I made in trying to survive his abuse but for not seeing what was going on. I am able to finally, completely lay the blame, truly at his feet.

      Have been listening to Stronger – Brittany Spears on a loop!

      I am a survivor.

      Good for you. It’s not your fault. Dealing with trauma leaves little headspace for any kind of thought process. Let alone trying to understand, deal with and even articulate abuse or our abusers. Onwards and upwards x

      Wow well done iwillbeok! I have only recently realised that I still carry his blame on my shoulder and it’s so heavy. I can’t wait for the day I can lay the blame at his feet too.
      I am very happy for you and proud, your victory shines hope and possibility for all of us 🙂
