Regaining my personal power and strength sometimes requires me to fall down. I have to use the power of positive thinking to get to realizing I am not still in it and I will not allow this to control my life. I will enjoy my life whether my abuser is controlling or not. I will not allow this to take away my joy!
Living Without Fear
Situations like what has happened recently and is still happening a little can cause me to fall right back into a state of Fear. Where I have that hopeless feeling that I will never get away from him and he will never leave me alone. FEAR – False Emotions/Evidence Appearing Real
This feeling of Fear is false because I have gotten away from him and he continues to use whatever desperate means he can to regain the control he no longer has. This is his problem, not mine. The worst he could do is kill me. He is such a coward and a bully and all he does is try to get to me through verbally abusing and manipulating our child which is just sick. Despite all that I can continue to do the right thing and give my daughter tools. She is smart enough that she will figure it out one day on her own.
Breaking the Silence
I am Breaking the Silence by speaking the truth here without fear. I do not need to live in shame, or feel my worries are burden on someone, I do not need to live in fear.
