And you are an amazing, strong woman.
Thank you so much for posting this. We have so much in common. It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there with experiences such as this. God bless you! I wish you continued healing and a happy and fulfilling future.
Thank you for your affirmations. I still cannot remember everything that happened in the three and a half years I was in my relationship. It has been almost 4 years now since he ended up in jail and I moved away. But as I read your affirmations I recognized every single one...I think there may be just three that I cannot accept as my own affirmation. I have copied the affirmations for when I am ready to start saying them. Thanks so much for sharing this part of you.
