These two quotes really resonate with me because it validates how I feel: I deserve better.

“Just remember that it's not your responsibility to fix a broken man. It's not worth your time, your effort, your love or your tears. If he's not willing to fix himself for you, there's nothing left to do but walk away and move behind his selfish, immature, and ultimately abusive behavior. Not all men are broken, but you have to believe you deserve better. Expect better and you'll receive better, it's that simple.”

“The truth is, no strong man takes advantage of a woman's vulnerability. It is a trait of the weak.”
