For years she’s wondered how he could be so mean
Cringed when he would walk into the room, wondering each time if and when he’d explode
Wanted things to be okay
Wanted to be happy with him
Hoped things would change
How can you treat the people closest to you so badly?
How do total strangers get respect but family gets all your shitty leftovers?
Hurtful words spewed out in anger with no regard for the lasting marks they leave on our hearts
This is not normal
It’s a cycle - and you didn’t break it
You look to blame everyone else while refusing to see the role you’ve played in this tragedy
Think before you speak
Everyday kindness goes such a long way
