This Is Not My Life. Not My Truth.

Britt, denial is such a stubborn thorn in the side. That is really sad that your sister would be that way but it's not only her way of coping, but making herself believe everything is ok.

I stopped making people try to believe me. My family and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum. And there have been friends I lost due to defending myself. Lonely road at times.

I am still in shock from putting it all together myself. I keep telling myself I could have been a university grad by now but instead I'm a college drop out who just lost their crappy call center job. It's so frustrating knowing you are meant for so much more. It's even more frustrating seeing my abuser's life full of success. It pains me to see him do well. Know that we are each here because we identify with eachother and though I just joined today I can already say it has helped me gain perspective on why I am the way I have been for as long as I can remember.
