💔 Love should never leave bruises, only peace.💔

💔Today, I took one of the hardest steps of my life. I went to court to apply for a protection order against my husband.

It wasn’t an act of anger, but of survival. After years of emotional abuse and last night that turned violent, I finally realized that love isn’t supposed to hurt, and peace can’t grow in fear.

He hit me. He humiliated me. He broke more than a mirror, he broke the illusion that I could somehow fix what was never mine to fix.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy. I’m sharing it because healing begins when we tell the truth and it's part of my story. And my truth is simple: I’m tired of pretending everything is okay when it’s not

Today, I chose to speak up. I chose to stand up for myself, bruised, shaken, but I'm refusing to let this go on any longer 💔

Praying for strength and healing for you lovely lady as well as a clear head where you will be able to take emotion out of it and do what's right for yourself and your children if you have them xx

That has got to be one of the worse situations to be in. It only gets better from here. You took the hardest and bravest first step.

BRAVA!
Take back your power

life is truly too short to live that way.

the horrible way he treated you may only intensify

Good Luck!

Great job taking a stand!! That was a scary situation but you turned it into something positive.

Zero is the exact level of tolerance, when it comes to violence in a relationship.

Hope you have a place to go to, where you don't have to be in the same room with him, outside a courtroom.

So glad you got out and no one deserves to be hit or abuse.

Please be careful. A protective order doesn’t protect. ❤
