Just hold on! You survived the abuse, and you can survive this too. The worst is behind you now. You made it through. Now it's time to reclaim yourself. I no longer see myself as my ex husband's victim, I see myself as victorious because what didn't kill me made me stronger! You can get there too. I'm sure whatever you went through was terrible and traumatic, but your abuser DIDN'T WIN because you're still here! Take strength and comfort in that thought. Don't let whoever it was keep the power over you and keep you a victim. You have the power and control within you. All you have to do is learn how to claim it! We're here for you!
