Do you know how it feels to be bullied, pressured ,cajoled to believe its all your fault
Do you know how it feels to give care, love, sincerity but recieve deceit , and spitefulness in return.
Do you know how it feels to be told your worthless and stupid every day
Do you know how it feels to look into the mirror and be ashamed of your own skin
Do you know how it feels to lose yourself so fully , hate yourself completely that you can no longer stand to be looked in the eye.
Do you know how it feels to carry various methods of suicide around in a bag planning the where and how , then waking up in a hospital realising that you were just to dumb even to do that right
Do you know how it feels to see your child look at you in tearful fear and ask “Daddy why are you crying”?
Do you know how it feels to live in a world of 7.5 billion people yet to be made to feel so alone.
Do you know how it feels .. WELL DO YOU ?
No you dont know how it feels because you were the abuser from the start to the end and even now , I hope ….. that you never have to find out how it feels because as much abuse pain and misery as you caused me , i would’nt wish it on another soul.
I hope as well that in some corner of your mind that you realise what you did to me was wrong , i may forgive your hatred of me but will never forget the vileness of your words
So my beautiful abuser Do you know how it feels to survive , rebuild your mind ,your life , no you dont.
Man oh man, the scars left behind aren’t just from the abuser but from ourselves as well. Especially as we replay all the hurtful things said, all the manipulative actions taken, over and over in our minds. And then we begin to believe all those lies and the voice is less their voice in our head and becomes our own voice. Breaking away from THOSE lies and those hurts and scars seems, in my personal experience, to be even harder to accomplish.
