Surviving abuse is a journey—one that can leave deep and lasting emotional scars. Whether the abuse was physical, emotional, or sexual, its effects can linger long after the immediate danger has passed. Survivors often face feelings of fear, shame, guilt, or isolation, even though the abuse was never their fault.
Memories of the trauma can feel overwhelming, and situations others consider 'normal' may seem challenging or even unsafe. This is the reality for many survivors: navigating life while carrying the weight of their experiences.
If this resonates with you, please know that you are not alone, and your feelings are valid. Healing is possible, and support is available. Whether through therapy, support groups, or trusted friends and family, there is hope and a path forward.
For anyone supporting a survivor, patience and understanding go a long way. Listen without judgment, and let them set the pace for their healing journey. Together, we can create a world where survivors feel seen, heard, and supported.
💜 You are strong. You are resilient. You deserve peace.
