Message of Healing
Healing is hard. It's uncomfortable and it's scary. I was in that five year relationship for so long, that the abuse started to feel comfortable to me. It was what I was used to. Not experiencing it made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't cry a lot. I thought I would, but I didn't. I used to cry all the time, but I've stopped doing that. I forced myself to stop, and it's something I wish I haven't done to myself. I don't allow myself to feel all the way anymore. It scares me. After three years of being out of that relationship, I just started looking for a therapist. Healing is a life long journey, and it's something that we all have to do on our town time line. I am still healing, and I always will be. It's something I'm resentful for, and also grateful for, since I'm able to help others. I'm now a social worker myself. Which is also part of my healing journey.
