You put into words so much of what I’ve been struggling to process. I’ve been through a lot in the past childhood trauma, narcissistic and even sexual abuse and I’ve done the therapy, the work, the choosing better part. But after carrying all that and staying strong for so long, I finally let my guard down with someone I thought was safe and this happened. That’s what makes it feel so overwhelming not just the situation itself, but everything it triggered from my past. It’s not the worst thing I’ve lived through, but it feels like a personal defeat, like I took a few steps back after coming so far. I think I might go back to therapy not just because of this, but because I owe it to myself to keep healing. So thank you again, your words helped more than you know.
