I found that when I named what he (and they) had chosen to do, had real words for his behaviour, character, and chosen actions, I could start to process the confusion and pain. I found my voice again. I was invited to speak on stages as a Lived Experience Victim Survivor. I found a worldwide community of women who just UNDERSTAND from their own lived experiences. We all have chosen ourselves and bravery, some with extremely careful documented action plans to try to leave safely. You see, abusers choose to abuse, and they love to try dim the light of women who are strong, successful, and sparkle like glitter balls πͺ© I went from being a sponsored elite athlete about to get my Professional Licence, to a heap on the floor surviving panic attacks isolated, with him telling me not to listen to my friends or therapist who were telling me to leave. If a man says his "Ex is crazy, unstable, emotional, bitter, withholding the children from him", goddess please run! This man is wearing a mask of charm, wanting your sympathy because you are a kind soul, creating an illusion that you may fall for because of the intensity of all the sweet words and being put on a pedestal and gifts and fake promises and future faking. You are his next supply that he has targeted. Not because you are weak, but because you have something that he can use to make himself look better. He chooses to trap women by marriage, children, and shared businesses. Real men love women for who they are, not how good they make him appear standing next to you. His entire performance is built on lies due to his unbearable shame inside him from childhood.
