Fifteen years away from my abuser. trigger warning

[Chipsahoy]

I don't want to share this in real life, on fb or whatever because it seems self indulgent, but wanted to share it somewhere.
As a teen I was groomed and abused, sexually exploited. 15 yrs ago this week, at age 21, I walked away, ran away, got away.
15 years ago, I put an end to it, cos no one else had or did, or was going to.

Life is good now. I've had lots of therapy and still have some for support. I have a husband and three children. I did that, me. So yay to me. A candle for me every night this week, for all I went through 🕯

@Chipsahoy sending a hug! You are amazing! Never forget that xx

I don’t think it’s self indulgent at all. I mark an anniversary of something shit that happened to me because I quite like celebrating it getting further in the past. Well done on your fresh start.
