Quotes to ponder:

"I have endured, I have been broken, I have known hardship, I have lost myself. But here I stand, still moving forward, growing stronger each day."

"Abuse isn’t always a black eye, or even insults and degradation. Sometimes it’s all the right words with all the wrong intent."

"Don’t doubt yourself. A manipulative abuser will gaslight you, coming from every angle to make themselves appear right and make you seem wrong."
