So often people want to label us as something that may or may not apply. Far too many of us that have suffered at the hands of our abusers fall into what has the unfortunate label of “victim mentality.” Some of us fight so hard against that label that we become militant survivors. Some slip into the shadows and thrive in private.
These are my thoughts.
You are such an inspiration and so very brave. There are many people that need to hear from you. Thank you for speaking … and sharing your journey.
It’s important that people understand that the journey isn’t linear. My goal is to just share what I can and hope that my story helps someone else find their voice.
