MORE THOUGHTS TO PONDER REGARDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

• “It hurts the most when the person that made you feel so special yesterday, makes you feel so unwanted today.”
• “I am so much more than you told me I was.”
• “Don’t let someone who did you wrong make you think there’s something wrong with you. Don’t devalue yourself because they didn’t value you. Know your worth even if they don’t.”
• I’m starting to remember who I was before you convinced me I was worthless.”
• "Poisonous relationships can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you're worthless. But you're not worthless, you're unappreciated."
• Find the strength inside yourself to value your own worth more than staying with someone who only keeps you down."
• "Domestic abuse, also called intimate partner violence, is the systematic suffocation of another person's spirit."
