Show your support for NO MORE domestic violence and sexual assault
I just wanted someone to love me to treat me like a human being but instead I got hit, raped, and emotionally abused I was nothing but a plaything a doll made for his needs... I didn't want to be there I was scared I felt alone I had nothing to live for I wanted to let go but the calls from my father and the words of a friend who kept telling me I wasn't alone helped me get the courage to leave and come home... Currently I'm trying to move on with my life and get to where I need to be, but I'm still jumpy I'll flinch at times and cry without knowing why... but I still long for the comfort of another to have the sense that I am not alone to feel loved by a man and not fear he'll raise his hands to hurt me. I'll never forget what was done to me and I can never take back what was stolen but I won't allow myself to be overcome with the trauma and even though they left me in a state that they made me believe I was weak these past days though I've proven that I'm stronger than I thought and have the potential to truly reach my dreams and with time I know I'll heal and I'll prove that I can stand tall and become what I most want to be and with the support of my family and friends I won't be scared anymore and I'll love like I was never hurt before! ♡ Laura
