Forgive yourself for not knowing sooner what a loving childhood could have taught you.

You are allowed to be both grateful for your survival and tired of how much you had to survive.

You are a survivor and that is something to be so proud of. It takes so much courage to move forward toward healing.

Abuse can only thrive in secrecy.

So use your voice.
Speak your truth.
Write your story.

You do not have to stay silent to protect someone else's comfort, false reputation, or lies parading as truth.

And if you can't scream it from the rooftops, whisper it.

But whatever you do, do not let anyone silence you ever again.

Watching this happen to someone else on a national scale hasn't been easy.

If you want to figure out who the bully is and who the victim is, notice who stands alone. The victim is frequently isolated, whereas the bully is backed by a crowd that laughs and enables it.

Being a burned out caretaker/parent doesn’t excuse abuse. I refuse to accept the normalization of using/abusing a vulnerable dependent to self-regulate because the caretaker is struggling.

Processing the reality of another human harming you, especially one you trusted, takes time, and the time it takes is different for every #survivor.

#CPTSD #PTSD #trauma #healing #survivorstrong #abusesurvivor #traumasurvivor

Talking about what happened, what it means, how it affected you - that's NOT a "victim mentality." Putting words to it, trying to understand it, connecting with others who've also been impacted - those are all constructive, proactive steps.

It's the OPPOSITE of "staying stuck."

Narcissists don't work on themselves. They only go to therapy to attempt to manipulate the therapist to DARVO their victims and make false apologies. The behavior won't change.

You are not an energy source for people who refuse to do their inner work.

Reminding myself today to meet myself with compassion and turn my anger into determination to do the work to heal. Let it challenge and grow me.

Right now I, your greatest responsibility is getting your life back on track and becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself. Don't waste your energy worrying about who stays, who leaves, who understands you, or who changes. This chapter is about choosing yourself. Heal your mind, rebuild your discipline, protect your peace, and reconnect with who you truly are. The people who are meant to be part of your next chapter will find you when you get there.

I thought I had to become a person I could be proud of, but what I'm learning to do is be proud of the person I am becoming.

Shattered is the word.

#shattered #CPTSD #PTSD #trauma #survivor #traumasurvivor #abusesurvivor #survivorstrong #healing #complexPTSD #complextrauma #narcissisticabuse

If you area trauma survivor and you feel like you've been shattered with no idea how to pick up the pieces that's so valid. Trauma can shatter our identity, our sense of self, and our core and it's so easy to get lost in the brokenness with no sense of self. If you feel this way it's so valid and it's not your fault.

Life with my ex. I thought it was possible to get it right, but the goalposts shifted. There was always something to punish me for. He had a carceral mindset - punishment was OK as a way to treat people. A month of silent treatment broke my heart and my spirit. 💔
#ipv #abuse #CPTSD #abusesurvivor

Mental abuse is not just calling a person names. It is also ignoring them, invalidating their feelings, giving them the silent treatment, and saying things to make them doubt themselves and their own reality. It is neglecting and not considering their feelings, and basically treating a person like they don't count. It is just as damaging as physical abuse, if not more.
