God Given Grit

Overcoming abuse and finding hope in a heap of burned-out
emotions is possible.
Abuse can take us by surprise, beginning small and gradually increasing.
The first sign is words, manipulating you, creating confusion for control...
"You're just being overly sensitive. I never said that. You must be remembering it wrong."
"I don't want to hear your opinion; you always say the wrong things. Just keep quiet and let
me handle this."
"I didn't hit you that hard; you just bruise easily."
On and off, this gaslighting, the differences in opinions, and this blaming become too
much... until you are constantly walking on eggshells.
You slowly realize that the person you loved, the one you chose to stay
with, is no longer there. Was he ever who you thought he was?
You become increasingly powerless, plunging into the
depths of self-doubt while he manipulates each situation to get what he wants: more power and control.
This shakes you to your core.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly 20 people are
physically abused by their partner every minute in the United States.
This figure reaches 10 million in a single year. But not all abuse is physical.
Every kind of abuse is becoming increasingly common, but it should never become anyone's norm.
It is essential to break this cycle and the trauma it leaves behind and to reawaken your glimmer. Rising from the ashes of an abusive relationship is not easy, but it is definitely possible.
