I finally realized why I’m not invested or connected with this story. I haven’t connected with the story because I can’t relate to the narrator. I’m the type of woman that would rather leave than endure. At the first sign of abuse I’d be out. It’s very hard for me to relate to women that stay and accept less than what they deserve…

But if she’s goes back to “x” one more time, especially after that, I’m gonna lose it 😩

However, I appreciate stories like this because I get to see things from a different pov. I get to understand the ways in which trauma affects people. Most importantly I get to expand my empathy and compassion for woman that are different than me. I love seeing women happy and loved well. I’m ready to get to that part of the book. But I know we can’t appreciate the rise without the fall of any story. 💗
