You weren’t my first abusive relationship but you’ll definitely be my last. You’ve controlled me, stalked me, hurt me physically and emotionally, stolen money, love, and time from me, forced me to choose you over time with my children, made me a social outcast, made me ashamed of myself, forced me to withdraw from others in shame, lie to myself and others, compromise my health and the way my children see me, you made me pass down your abuse to my daughter, made me a terrible mother and friend; but that ends now. Never again will I allow anyone or anything to steal my dignity or life or self-love again. I choose me, finally and always. #goodbye
