Alla donna coraggiosa che ha lasciato il suo compagno violento

Quando si tratta di lasciare una relazione abusiva , everybody talks about it like it’s the easiest thing to do.

They can all talk the talk but YOU walked the walk and I’m proud of you!

I want you to know that it doesn’t matter that it took you so long to find the courage to leave.

It doesn’t matter if you went back a few times because he lured you back in with his lies that broke you and made you crumble under his vile pressure.

You’re the only one who knows how painful and humiliating it was hearing him tell you that you were ugly and unworthy.

Telling you that you couldn’t leave because you wouldn’t be able to survive without him.

Dicendoti che nessuno ti avrebbe voluto, perché temeva che qualcuno ti avrebbe trattato meglio.

Prendersi gioco di voi per aver pensato di poter vivere senza di lui quando in realtà era lui ad avere paura di perdervi, perché era lui ad avere bisogno di voi.

Being in an abusive relationship fundamentally changes you in ways that you can’t even tell yourself.

It takes a huge toll on you and you become a different person, without even being aware that it’s happening.

These heinous relationships and vile partners destroy you gradually from the inside out. You feel yourself slowly burning out… until one day, there is nothing left.

You’ve burned out and you’re numb.

Si diventa insensibili al mondo, alle emozioni e si smette di preoccuparsi di se stessi e di ciò che accade.

What you’re going through is so unimaginably painful that you genuinely stop caring about what will happen and how it will end. You just need it to stop.

There is only so much pain one person is capable of enduring and whatever you did and however you coped with the abusive nature of your partner, it’s okay.

Qualsiasi scelta difficile abbiate dovuto fare, di cui forse oggi non andate fieri, non è in alcun modo un riflesso di voi come persona.

Sono il risultato di continui abusi da parte di un uomo crudele che non aveva alcun diritto di fare quello che ha fatto a lei.

If you’ve been there, I need you to know that it’s okay. You made it out. You’re in one piece and right now, that’s all that matters.

Whatever you had to resort to in order to get yourself here, it doesn’t matter. It got you out and that is something not a lot of people can say, so be proud of yourself.

Ci vuole tempo prima di imparare a dimenticare quello che ti ha fatto passare e quello che ha fatto di te. Ci vuole tempo per ricostruire se stessi dalle fondamenta.

It’s okay to feel lost right now. It’s okay to feel weak and even miss that person at times.

Even though it was the worst kind of love… the feelings still need time to go away.

It’s going to take some time before you’re your own person again. Before you can look yourself in the mirror and recognize the woman you’re seeing.

For so long, you were leaning on the most destructive type of love, that right now you’re unsure of how to live without it.

Don’t feel like there is something wrong with you for feeling this way. There is no right way to cope with abuse.

Let yourself go at the pace you’re comfortable with.

Don’t feel bad for thinking he would change. I know that is probably why you stayed that long but know that it’s okay.

You believe in people, even when they don’t deserve it, and that is not something to be ashamed of.

Siete molto forti. In primo luogo, per aver sopportato ciò che hai fatto e per essere sopravvissuta all'abuso, e solo tu sai esattamente quanto sia stato brutale, e in secondo luogo per allontanarsi .

La forza che ci è voluta per andarsene alla fine dimostra quanto siate forti e resistenti.

Siete rimasti così a lungo perché credevate in qualcosa.

Volevate credere che le cose sarebbero andate meglio. Volevate credere che avrebbe ricevuto l'aiuto di cui aveva bisogno.

You desperately wanted to believe that he wouldn’t resort to abuse ever again… but when you realized your hopes were in vain, you did the hardest thing–you left.

And wherever you are right now on your road to recovery, I want you to know I’m proud of you. You did the right thing.

Avete fatto una cosa coraggiosa. E per questo meriti tutte le lodi e le rassicurazioni del mondo.

There are going to be days that will be so dark, you won’t find a reason to get up. There are going to be days where you will be questioning yourself and doubting your choices.

Ci saranno ostacoli nel vostro viaggio verso la guarigione e in quei momenti ricordatevi di ciò che avete fatto.

Ricordate quanto siete stati coraggiosi e forti e siate orgogliosi di voi stessi!

The pain you’re feeling right now is proof that you are on your way to getting your life back together.

A ogni passo avanti, vi liberate del dolore che vi ha lasciato e riprendete il controllo della vostra vita.
