You abused me, today I am finally free

I left after 8 years of a relationship, 8 years of abuse. You tried to make me believe it wasn’t your fault, but now I know the truth. You manipulated me, you hurt me, and you made me accept it.

I gave you all my love, but you never deserved it.

Today, I am free. And I am proud of myself for having the courage to leave, to make my own choices for the first time in 8 years.

I can’t wait to find real love, a love built on mutual respect, a love that lets me be who I truly am.
