Things I Got Back When I Left My Abuser

If you've been in an abusive relationship, you can probably relate to losing most of the things that make you YOU. You lose friends, family, hobbies, passions, self care, etc.

Here are the things I've gotten back since October:

-self respect

-skin care routine

-new hobbies (pole dancing + boxing)

-new friends

-rekindled friendships with old friends

-a better relationship with my son

-a better relationship with my son's dad

-the ability to satisfy my travel bug

-increased mental health

-increased physical health

-ETC.

Obviously this doesn't all come back over night. One step at a time, friend. Once you are free I promise you will start to recover the person you were before they took it all away from you.
