      ‘ People don’t “allow” themselves to be abused.
      People are lied to and coerced into abusive
      situations. And before they know any better, their
      finances, their living situations, and all of their
      systems of support are tied into their abuser. People
      don’t choose to be abused. They are manipulated by
      their abusers. And by the time they realize that they
      need to get away, it’s too late to do so without
      tearing their entire world apart.’ Kalen Dion.

      I read this and thought of you.
      I’ve endured two long term abusive relationships. It is what I grew up with and I hadn’t developed a sense of deserving anything different. It was what I was used to. It was a revelation when I understood that I deserved better, and abuse was not inevitable.
      So don’t be hard on yourself. You’ve been through a lot and deserve only kindness.
