I was in an extremely abusive relationship. He definitely would have killed me if I had stayed much longer.
It made me much stronger. It made me much more aware of many things to look out for in future relationships and even friendships. I had never experienced abuse before (except for school bullying) so it was really hard to understand what was happening to me at first. It’s also made me more aware that people who look and act perfectly fine might not be fine. They may be going through hell. They may not have a safe place to live. We never know what’s going on with people.
