Thank you, and you know what, I AM!!!!! I feel sooooooooo soooooo much better.

I am processing my feelings, I am journaling, I am feeling stronger each day, more resolute, I know what I deserve and want in a relationship, and I know what I will NOT put up with.

I also am forgiving myself for this last one and for any other abusive relationship before this. Self-forgiveness and self-compassion are SO important to healing. I am being kind to myself and am not beating myself up. Instead, I am trying to understand what I did and why, so that I will not put myself in the same position next go around.

I feel good!
