Wow. The realization that I haven’t had a legit trauma dream since I left my ex is just...overwhelming. I used to be afraid to sleep. The last serious nightmare I had happened almost immediately after I left him and now they’re nonexistent. Recovery is real and possible.

I wish we’d stop trying to spin survivors’ traumas by saying that it made them “stronger.”

It didn’t need to happen to me.

It didn’t need to happen to anyone else.

And if lying awake at night while the images of what happened replay in my mind on a loop is what makes me “strong”...simply put, I’d rather be weak.
