Question 2

What I learned

Answer 2

Here are a few lessons I’ve learned:

• Though they abused me for decades, it was not my fault.
• Anyone who shames or belittles my emotions does not love me.
• Abusers will never validate the reality of the abuse.

-Experiencing dark emotions makes me whole, powerful.

-Owning my feelings requires strength; it’s worth it.

-Though I don’t control what happens to me, my power lies in my response.

-If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

-My sense of belonging can never be greater than my level of self-acceptance. (I remind myself often.)

-Though others can help, I alone must care for my needs and desires.

-Experiencing any emotion makes us human; I am never alone.
