“Some days I feel the burn of his words. Some days it’s easier to let it slide off my skin. But today, it burns. I’ve told him before that I’d rather he physically hit me instead of spewing his nasty venom. Bruises I can easily heal from. Emotional scars, that’s a different story. Sticks and stones. They fucking lie.”
