I’ve gone through the whole cycle: not being able to come to terms with the fact I was living with an actual monster; coming to terms with it ; being angry at him; and then being angry at myself for being so easily manipulated!
I read a quote which helped. It says:
“Forgive yourself for accepting less than you deserve. But don’t do it again.”
I love that quote, thankyou for sharing it. I had a moment today where I was thinking to myself, how can I have so much pain and anger, yet simultaneously I am numb and void of feeling.
