So today I made a choice.

I made the choice that today was the day that I was going to finally tell my family about what my ex had done to me.

I tried to be brave.
I tried to stop my lip from trembling.
I tried to stop crying.

And I ran.

I have held it all inside of me for the last 2 years and I am scared of what will happen when I let it out for everyone to see.

How do you tell the people that you love what you are?
How do you show them your scars without reliving every moment?

How do you deal with that look in peoples eyes that tells you that they are never going to look at you the same again.

How do you move past it all and become normal again?

I wish I had better advice for you, but all I can say is when you are ready, you will be able to do this.
You are so very strong and that will come through.
