Silence only protects the abuser, and breaking that silence is a powerful step toward ending the cycle of abuse—not just for yourself but for others who might be going through the same thing. Women do have a voice, and using it is how we demand recognition, accountability, and change.

You don’t owe anyone the full story if you’re not comfortable, but you do owe yourself the truth. Saying, “I left because I was in an abusive situation,” is enough. No sugarcoating, no protecting the abuser, no making excuses.

And the more we speak openly about it, the less power abusers have. Because they thrive in secrecy, in the shadows. But when we shine a light on what they do, their grip weakens.

Stay strong, stay vocal, and never let anyone make you feel like your truth should be hidden. 💪✨
