Love to everyone who's survived or are surviving abuse while moving through environment where others are in deep denial about the abuse. You r sweetie pie, you never should've had to experience that for even a moment! 😭 Wishing you the ability to completely disregard those who disregard you and your pain, no matter how "nice" they believe themselves to be.
