Time to share my Domestic Violence Story
I think it's time to share what I experienced the past two years. Why MBP has been on such a pause and why some of ya'll had been unfriended on my accounts.
I was going through some hard times.
Today is a year since I was hit in the face while 6 months pregnant by my sons father. Not the last, and not my first from being hurt by him unfortunately.
I'm still coming to understand why God put this chapter I my life, but what I've made sense of so far is that some people are severely mentally ill out there & most of them don't think they have a problem. Protect yourself from them.
A lot of this is due to how they were raised and seeing their own parents abuse each other so they don't see it at all.
Even the best of intentions, love, care, won't help these people until they recognize it themselves and want to change. Even then, I'm not sure it's possible.
This makes me sad and angry that it's like this, especially with people I love. But the best thing to do is leave. Stay away.
You don't deserve to be hurt even if you love them and have hope that they'll change.
I plan on talking more about this through mind body physique and sharing what I'm doing to grow + heal from this. I don't have all the answers, and I don't think I ever will, but what I'm grateful for is that me and my son are safe and out of harms way.
Anyone out there experiencing mental, emotional and physical abuse, I hope you read this and decide to do something about it because the world needs more mentally-healthy people and if you stay, they'll take you down with them.
