Tuttavia, ero ancora una vittima. Anche se le mie cicatrici non sono visibili, esistono ancora.<\/p>\n
My wounds and bruises are hidden under my skin. They\u2019re all over my heart and soul. I\u2019m bleeding internally and that doesn\u2019t make it any less painful.<\/strong><\/p>\n For the first time ever, I\u2019m able to say this painful sentence out loud: I\u2019m a victim of abuse.<\/p>\n My ex never actually raised his hand to me, he was never physically violent, but he emotionally abused me and that doesn\u2019t make my suffering any less important.<\/p>\n Even though I\u2019m not trying to devalue anyone\u2019s suffering, c'\u00e8 questo trucco con la violenza emotiva e mentale che tutti abusatori<\/a> are perfectly aware of: People will rarely see you as a real victim until they see physical evidence of all you\u2019ve been through.<\/strong><\/p>\n Moreover, it will take you a long time before you yourself acknowledge your abuse. Trust me, I\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n La prima volta che il mio ex ha iniziato a insultarmi e a chiamarmi per nome, mi stava anche convincendo che nessuna di queste cose era un grosso problema. It\u2019s not abuse until he hits you, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n Con il tempo, ho iniziato a credergli. Pensavo di aver reagito in modo eccessivo e di aver esagerato.<\/p>\n Quando ha iniziato a farmi luce, ho iniziato a mettere in dubbio la mia sanit\u00e0 mentale, invece di vedere quest'uomo per la bestia nascosta che era in realt\u00e0.<\/b><\/p>\n Pensavo di immaginarmi le cose e lui mi ha fatto credere di essere io a fraintendere tutto, invece di vedere che in realt\u00e0 stava giocando con successo con la mia mente per tutto il tempo.<\/p>\n When he started putting me down, I didn\u2019t see it as his attempt to reduce my worth. When he assured me that I was good for nothing, I believed him and adopted the idea that I wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n Nobody saw me as a victim and it took me years to acknowledge my abuse. After all, it\u2019s not abuse until he hits you, right?<\/p>\n I know what you must be thinking right now. You may not say it out loud, but you can\u2019t help but wonder why I didn\u2019t just walk away.<\/p>\n No, I wasn\u2019t financially dependent on him and we didn\u2019t have kids. In fact, the truth is that I had somewhere to go.<\/p>\n![\"Donna](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/abused-woman-crying.jpg\")
