"I didn’t know I was being abused because my definition of abuse looked different.

I always thought abuse meant physical violence, something you could see, something that left visible scars. I never realized that the scars left by psychological abuse could be just as deep—if not deeper.

My personality, my strength, and my love for life were slowly stripped away by someone who knew exactly how to manipulate, control, and diminish me, without ever raising a hand.

Psychological abuse is just as real, just as damaging, and yet, it often goes unnoticed—even by the victims themselves. The emotional manipulation, gaslighting, belittling, and isolation don’t leave bruises, but they leave wounds that take far longer to heal.

It took stepping away to realize that love should never come with fear, control, or emotional destruction. Love doesn’t strip away your identity; it nurtures, respects, and uplifts. No one deserves to be trapped in a love that hurts.

If you feel like you’re constantly questioning your worth, your reality, or your right to happiness, know that you are not alone—and that true love will never demand you to lose yourself."
