I don’t know if this will really help but here I go: That sharp pain in my chest after I found out that he was cheating on me. That’s a feeling that you will never be able to forget. He humiliated me, I felt played, all of that time with him, wasted. And then he reached to the extreme and put his hands on me. In that moment I felt weak, purposeless, but then I turned around and realized my worth. I realized that I am a strong independent woman who can overcome anything. I built up the courage to break up with him and press charges, I felt so strong, I felt brand new, I felt like a survivor.
