“It’s so hard to recover from living in an abusive environment for most of your life. After I left my mom’s house, I realized that I haven’t ever had a real sense of self. A year and a half later, I’m still discovering my identity and how to function as a regular person. I feel like the abuse I suffered destroyed me and robbed me of the chance to be someone great. People tell me that I’m strong for having survived, but I feel so crippled and weak. I must be strong, but I don’t feel like I am.”
