I lived with an abuser for over 13 years and in that time, I became nothing; my children became nothing and my life meant nothing.  I gave up all my self-esteem, my laughter and who I was.  After realizing that nothing I did could change this man, I was prompted by my children to seek help.  I started going to a counselor and soon learned that my thinking was okay and that I was okay as a person. 

I started looking for love and left.  I've since found my laughter, myself, my self esteem and the freedom to be who I am.  My children still struggle but I know they are better off without the harshness.

Never sell yourself short.  God created you, has a purpose for you and delights in you.

Psalms 18 proves it.

I battled depression for years until I realized a few things about myself.  I was living in an abusive relationship and I was shutting down spiritually.  After much needed therapy, I left my abuser and moved on. 

Even now, the crunge wants to come in.  I've decided that if I change just one thing, the rut won't come.  I sit in another room of my house that I barely go in, move a flower to another area or sit outside for a few minutes.  I feel better and I can move on with my day without being unhappy.
