Paranoia
What if you can never escape?
Revenge
When you have been wronged for years, rage can overcome the recovery process.
Foreigner
When you've been isolated by an abuser, it feels like you don't (and can't) belong in the world anymore.
Active Listener
Some abuse victims become more aware and empathetic after recovery.
Others are forced to be by abusers who pretended to be the victim.
The Escape
We won't be the same, but we can't stay.
Olive Branch
If you could've told yourself things get better, you would've.
Support Group
When your loved ones aren't around, it's hard to remember you're worthy of love.
But you have to remember.
Self-image
It's hard to remember who you were before the incident.
But maybe being someone new is okay.
Bloom and Motherhood
We don't have to accept the roles our manipulators assign us to.
Walked on Eggshells
Many abuse victims walk on eggshells to avoid triggering their abuser's temper.
This one doesn't anymore.
