I may think of you softly from time to time, but I swear I'll cut my hands off if they ever reach out for you again.

For every parent that acts without thinking, there’s a child that’ll remember.

I miss having a family so much. Cutting my family out of my life was the best decision I have ever made and living a life outside of abuse has been transformative. I truly can't even describe just how much it was worth it. But I want my family back. I want my life back. And I don't understand how both those things can be true, even years later.

‘you were my home but now it’s on fire and I can’t let myself burn with it this time.’

and when I cut all contact, I hope you realize what you’ve done.

going no contact from an abusive parent is like having an open wound that only feels healed when you don't look at it directly
