Will stole many years from my life. He stole my happiness and made me do reprehensible things. It’s taken time, but I’m finding ways to forgive myself for all that I have done. Will broke me at first. But in the process of healing, I’ve become a stronger, more confident version of myself than I used to be. In the aftermath of Will’s exploitation and his abuse, I’ve discovered the woman I was always meant to be, a woman I can be proud of, a woman my children can look up to and admire. I now know what true happiness is.
