Sensitivity

You can't expect people to understand. Domestic violence is complicated. Being a victim extends way beyond the actual act of violence. The mental and emotional go on forever. Sometimes it's repressed well but you never forget. An it doesn't help when you're trying to overcome that some ignorant person says something to you like...you should have exercised more common sense or why would you subject yourself to something like that!! Thanks you insensitive moron!!! Anyways you can't get stuck there! Move forward. Keep pushing! Don't even waste your energy with them. It's not worth it. Trust me! Continue to focus on you!!
