I CAN & I WILL

The bruising caused by physical abuse in a relationship has great value & power for the one abused.

Mentally abusive relationships are so much more complicated & difficult, in comparison to physical abuse. I know. I lived in one for over 20 years. I am a strong, intelligent, independent woman...yet I got caught in the trap of an abuser. Emotional and mental abuse is by far the worst form of abuse. Healing the mind is a life long process. You eventually learn to just live with the new normal. Complete healing is very rare. You can’t erase the memories. You can learn to accept them and not let them control you for the rest of your life.
