After someone shared their story with me, I thought this was a good quote.
"Emotional abuse is underneath all other types of abuse - the most damaging aspect of physical, sexual, mental, etc. abuse is the trauma to our hearts and souls from being betrayed by the people that we love and trust. The other types of abuse can add more levels to the healing necessary but the bottom line is the emotional abuse and it's effect on our ability to Love and trust ourselves." - Emotional abuse is Heart and Soul Mutilation

I open the bathroom door very quietly, so he doesn’t hear me. Can I tip toe to my bedroom undetected? Reaching my bedroom safely, and after closing the door, I finally let out a sign of relief. I attempt to dress myself as quickly as possible, I want to get back downstairs where I’ll be safe. After all, if I can reach my mom the monster won’t come after me. Then I hear him on the move again, his footsteps quietly creeping until he’s just outside my door. I know what’s coming.
