..and it's hard to convince yourself every minute that you are worth the life you're trying to build. This blog will be completely up and running daily as a way to express myself and hopefully be found someday by someone that needs it.
I have been away for 20 days now and every time I think I'm okay, I discover that I'm not. I know through the research I did for a paper in my Psych class last semester, that this will last my whole lifetime. Studies show that women who have suffered this kind of abuse never fully recover. There are a variety of factors that make this true. There is no support for us, people don't take it seriously because they can't see the damage, and we have no self worth. Having no self worth makes us feel like we don't need or deserve help. Some days I wish that he had stuck with the physical abuse so that I could heal the wounds. He only did that a few times.
There will be updates, as well as stories that I have written the past few years, posted when another day comes that I feel capable of it. Currently, I'm trying to do school work and am completely uninterested.
