Oh my goodness Tiffy. I'm so sorry you went through this and I'm so sorry so many others have (and still are). I'm so happy you were able to leave, no matter how you did it. You're alive and I and so many others are so grateful you are. This world is better with you in it. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. You inspired me to share a bit of my own DV story today, Tiff. Healing is not linear, and I am not sure it is ever over. But I do believe we slowly kill the shame when we share our stories.
I left an abuse relationship in a similar way. I didn't feel particularly heroic either, but as the years have gone by and I see how much this situation affected me and how long it took to heal - I understand more the strength it took to walk away.
Your words, and the spaces that hold them create imagery so vivid..and with A tempo gentle enough..
that I can make it until the end to come up for air.....
much love to you. I'm grateful you're here to share your words with us. 🤎
Can't wait for your poetry book
