Staying on your own until you are fully healed and ready is a powerful and brave decision. It shows a deep understanding of your worth and a commitment to protect the happiness you’ve worked so hard to reclaim. For too long, false promises and empty words were used to disguise abuse, but now you’ve learned to see through them and prioritize your well-being.

You’re fortunate to have the support of family, but most importantly, you’ve cultivated something even more vital: self-love. Over the past ten years, you’ve built a relationship with yourself that no one can take away. You’ve discovered your inner strength, resilience, and the joy that comes from being authentically you.

This journey has taught you invaluable lessons—most notably, that love does not hurt, control, or diminish. True love uplifts, supports, and nurtures. You’ve made a promise to yourself that you will not allow anyone to destroy your happiness again. And that promise is sacred.

Healing is not linear, but you’re walking your path with clarity and purpose. By choosing to stand in your truth, you’ve already broken free from the cycle of abuse. The life you’re creating is built on respect, peace, and an unwavering commitment to your own happiness.

When and if you’re ready to invite someone else into your life, it will be on your terms—terms rooted in love, trust, and mutual respect. Until then, you’re doing exactly what you need to do: honoring yourself and embracing the joy of being whole and free.

No more abuse. Only peace, happiness, and love—starting with the love you’ve found within yourself.
