I work with survivors of domestic violence/sexual assault and I’ve noticed that one of the best things is to share their stories with each other. Domestic violence is extremely isolating. Talking about it is one of the first steps towards breaking that barrier.
I couldn’t agree with you more. It is so important for the survivors to know they aren’t alone.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m just beginning to share mine. It feels so convoluted sometimes.
The best advice I can give on this is to take some time. Allow yourself to feel any emotions that occur as you are sharing your story. Your emotions are valid, and you should never feel shame for whatever situation you are in, or were in previously.
Above all, be kind to yourself.
