Your Strength Is Greater Than You Think.

My dearest friend, if you're reading this, I want you to know that my heart goes out to you. Perhaps you stumbled upon this blog by accident, or perhaps you searched for something, anything, that might speak to what you're quietly enduring. If you are experiencing domestic violence, please hear this truth, loud and clear: you are not alone, and this is absolutely, unequivocally not your fault.

I know the confusion, the fear, the isolation, and the deep, heavy weight that can settle over you. I know how the person who might have once promised you forever can become the source of your deepest pain. Whether it's the shouts that echo in your mind, the control that chokes your freedom, the constant put-downs that chip away at your spirit, or the physical hurts that leave hidden bruises – it's all violence. And it's all wrong.
