No entanto, continuei a ser uma v\u00edtima. Mesmo que as minhas cicatrizes n\u00e3o sejam vis\u00edveis, elas continuam a existir.<\/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, h\u00e1 este truque com a viol\u00eancia emocional e mental que todos abusadores<\/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 A primeira vez que o meu ex come\u00e7ou a insultar-me e a chamar-me nomes, estava simultaneamente a convencer-me de que nenhuma destas coisas era importante. It\u2019s not abuse until he hits you, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n Com o tempo, comecei a acreditar nele. Pensei que estava a exagerar e a exagerar.<\/p>\n Quando ele come\u00e7ou a fazer-me luz de g\u00e1s, comecei a questionar a minha pr\u00f3pria sanidade mental em vez de ver este homem como o monstro oculto que ele era.<\/b><\/p>\n Pensava que estava a imaginar coisas e ele fez-me pensar que era eu que estava a interpretar tudo mal, em vez de ver que ele estava, na verdade, a brincar com a minha mente desde o in\u00edcio.<\/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![\"mulher](\"https:\/\/herway.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/abused-woman-crying.jpg\")
