I am glad I am strong most of the time, glad I can think positively, glad I can control my reactions most of the time now, glad I am always able to distract myself when I feel down and that I have tried doubly hard to be that way since coming back from the refuge back to our house, glad I can see the shorter time it takes for me not to feel so hurt at times…
Even though the situation is carrying on, I am glad I went to the refuge and got some of my strength back. I can somehow see more clearly. And maybe eventually I will have the courage to leave. And even if I stay, it will be my way to say ”you can’t bring me down…”
