Traumatic events can affect children’s moods and their ability to regulate their emotions. Kids who have been traumatized often get upset easily and have trouble calming down.

“I wanted to believe that I deserved it. All of that pain. Otherwise I didn’t understand why I just accepted it. Thinking that I’d just accepted it for months was worse.”

Cycle of abuse (click to enlarge)

[rabbitloser]

It’s completely normal to feel bad after ending an abusive relationship, but always know that even if it hurts now, in a very near future, you’ll shine so much. But you won’t shine like the stars or anything that you’ve seen before. You’ll shine like you, you’ll shine everything that you couldn’t before. 

Because now, my friend, you are free. Don’t you ever forget that.

There’s no going back, but there is a way forward.

Okay but one thing that pisses me off is when people are talking about someone that’s in an abusive relationship and they’re like, “why are they still in that relationship though??” 

I understand if you’ve never been in an abusive relationship and say this, but please understand this: people in abusive relationships stay in that relationship because there’s more to the relationship than the abuse. Their partner is most likely not abusive 24/7.

Abusive people are not always abusive. They have good qualities, too; things that make people love them. Things that make people think they’re not all bad. Things that make people stay in an abusive relationship. When you’re manipulated like that, it’s hard to leave.

So please, before you judge someone for staying in an abusive/toxic relationship, please realize it’s hard for someone to leave that relationship when they’re attached to the good qualities.

Instead of questioning why they’re still in the relationship, actually do something and help them.

“you’re choking me with the same hand that you’re caressing me with. your mouth says the most awful things to me yet still tastes sweet when you kiss me. you tell me you love me yet you act like you hate me. and still, i can’t leave you.”

“Oh We’re Teasing You”

Sound familiar? It’s the sound of a mentally and emotionally abusive parent justifying their berating of you in front of others.

to be honest, thinking the abuse was my fault was easier
