To survive is the essence of living, a sign of self appreciation and self respect that gives one the courage to draw a line in order to put a stop to discomfort and abusive situation.
Are you being victimized again? Have you ever sat and assumed that it was your fault or felt as though you were alone and no one else would care or understand what you are going through? Have you escaped abuse and feel ashamed to tell your story because you think you'll be ridiculed by others and thought of as "stupid"? Well then if you've answered yes to any of these questions, you're not alone. We fear for our lives, our safety and sanity and yet keeping it inside is never a healthy solution to such issues. Sharing your experience helps ease the burdens of keeping it all inside. Your story could help someone out there to realize that he/she is not alone and the fact that you've gone through this situation does not make you stupid, on the contrary it shows that you are human and a real person to relate to. The echo of those hurtful words hurled at you, the beatings you've received and the scars of the abuse may never go away, but knowing that you take each day as it comes and relate to others would help heal your wounds as well as help others to prevent themselves falling victims, learning from your experience gives someone out there an escape plan and route. Gain your voice back and speak out for yourselves, relieve your pains and get the weight off your shoulder because you are not alone!!! You are special and your experience has given you a story to tell, a lesson to be taught to others and your best revenge for your abusers is in your hands, wallowing in self pity means that your abuser has won but being successful sends a message to them... letting them know that you could still live on, be strong and gain a life for yourself.
