Haven’t posted this in a while, and even though it’s been posted so many times before, it’s always worth repeating for those who may be new. Just because you may have left —whether it be weeks, months, or even years prior— does NOT always mean the abuse has ended. is something that we must keep discussing, so that more people understand exactly how insidious it is, and what all it entails. Not only for those experiencing it currently so that we can better support them and their children, but in order for PREVENTION — especially for the younger generation, or those that may be naive to just how malevolent former partners and spouses can be after a separation or divorce. This often can occur up until the youngest child is 18, and sometimes beyond that.
You are not crazy. You are not alone. There IS help and there ARE resources.
No matter where you are in your journey, even if you’ve been fighting (either silently, or through an ongoing custody battle) for years, there is always still hope. Healing is not linear, and trauma doesn’t have a timeframe; not the way visible wounds usually do. And you know what? That’s okay. As long as you keep going and trying, it’s never too late for a change.
Don’t give up before the miracle. Reach out, no matter where you are in your journey…there may just be a whole world of new possibilities not only for you and your kiddo/s out there, but a brand new chapter waiting for just YOU to write 💜
