this is so true. sometimes I ask myself the same thing. I want to believe writing about abuse gives us space to talk about things that otherwise would rot inside of us. it is also the voice we never got to have inside the abusive situation. we speak now because we couldn't speak before. and then we find out we're not alone, and we can heal together in some way.
I really wanted to read something like this for a while now. thanks for saying it out loud. take care.
