Epilogue: Rising Stronger
Though scars remain, the experience yielded valuable lessons. He taught me a crucial truth: "me comes first." I now prioritize self-love, self-care, and self-respect. My worth is self-defined, no longer tied to others' opinions.
Loving myself fiercely has become my greatest strength. I:
- Set boundaries
- Trust instincts
- Nurture uplifting relationships
- Pursue soul-igniting passions
My family, once witnesses to my pain, now celebrate my resilience. Together, we've grown stronger.
To those who've faced similar darkness, I offer this:
Your voice matters.
Your worth is inherent.
Your healing is possible.
Remember, "me comes first."
