Close your eyes. Imagine walking barefoot through fog on eggshells.
You’re not sure where you’re going because you can’t see clearly. The path you’re on is familiar, but difficult – sometimes the shells are a soft cushion beneath your feet; other times, the sharp edges pierce through, causing intense, excruciating pain. How could something be so harmless one minute and so agonizing the next? A moment later, the pain is gone. What just happened?
Such is the confusion of abusive relationships.
This blog is about domestic abuse. It’s about characteristics of abusers, dynamics of unhealthy relationships, examples of disrespectful behavior, and how to help a friend. It’s about learning who you are apart from anyone else. It’s about finding freedom and peace.
Welcome.
I had been in a marriage that was unhealthy and unsafe, and I finally realized that it was time to end the marriage.
Thank you for sharing that – it’s a hard process of realization/facing what’s true. I’m so thankful you were able to extricate yourself from the relationship.
