You have done your bit, you have broken the cycle of abuse

Be happy your parents aren't around to mess up your kids too, like our mother did

Sending gentle protective hugs to you
So sorry that you are hurting, the memories never really go away, & our parents never lose the power to hurt us emotionally

Be strong in the knowledge that you have saved your children from abuse

Much love to you & yours, be gentle with yourself sweetie
