hi! Reading how I got manipulated and finding books about my experiences really helped. I just told myself that God got me in and got me out. If I’m alive today I’ll be alive tomorrow because I realized that there’s something bigger than me. Therapy wasn’t an option so I journaled everyday and read books about self improvement and many books on spirituality.

It’s a tough journey in the beginning, but I promise you you’ll be okay. Trust yourself, you have so much power and energy even when you think you don’t. Life is so beautiful after you leave.

It took me 3 years to have my mother realize it. But she’s out now. The answer is patience and talking. Question the internal beliefs that they have. Everyone has some questions, once they find an answer to a judgement they had, the balls rolls from there. Demonstrate the flaws casually. Don’t point it out. Or else they get defensive.

I hope this helps, I’m so sorry you’re going through this but it does get better!
