A letter to my former self.
Dear MySweetMelody,
Reading through this journal has made me sad for you and for the way that you allowed yourself to be treated throughout the most formative years of your life. But I have a message for you.
It's okay.
You made it.
You survived.
You're happy.
You're successful.
And you're loved.
Roger has been out of our life for years and it's been hard to come to terms with the seven years of madness. Things had to get better before they got worse, but through the physical, sexual and emotion abuse that he put you through and that, really, you allowed him to put you through despite the constant warnings of those around you, we made it.
You graduated college and got a really good job. Not every day is a good one, but you know that everything is going to work itself out and that all of your dreams will come true.
Leave the past behind, because you're worth it.
You're a survivor. You worked hard and you continue to work hard and it's a really good life when you let it be.
Forgive yourself, because I forgive you and I love you and I'm releasing you.
