When a woman goes through a heartbreak or an end to a relationship she may feel like it is the lowest point of her life. When a woman goes through heartbreak during and after an abusive relationship has ended she feels this way as well but it is amplified times ten. She may feel stupid, dumb, naive, or maybe even foolish for even partaking in the relationship itself. She may have seen signs coming for a while if she is in a normal and healthy relationship that the relationship itself was ending, but for a woman going through an abusive relationship, things may be a little different.
I’m here to tell you that you are not stupid, dumb, naive, nor foolish for loving a person correctly how you’re supposed to just because they won’t love you back the correct way in return. There is nothing wrong about actually loving someone.

Thanks for spreading the word about abuse and domestic violence. Such an important issue and no many suffer in silence.
Thanking you for shedding light on such an important subject!
absolutely, we have all had heartbreaks. Loving ourselves first is first priority.
Thank you for sharing! This is an important yet difficult subject because of the emotions surrounding it. The more we talk about it, the more we empower women to get away from those toxic relationships.
Women do not hear this enough! I hate that we’re always blamed for situations, even ones that we leave. Thanks for speaking on this!
This initiative is so needed. I’ve found that even when platonic relationships end that those feelings can surface. I’m glad there’s a cause dedicated to this!
