Something that has been so encouraging for me, shifting my perspective in the process of healing from abuse…

Is meeting new people and forming new relationships. Getting out of that bubble that the abuse has created. No human being is perfect but healthy friendships, family relationships, work relationships, romantic relationships, etc. do exist.

My prayer is that every survivor of abuse can experience finding out that there are people in the world who are not like those who abused us. There are people in the world who are kind, loving and uplifting. This is a broken, fallen world but it is possible to find people who will truly care for you.
