It makes you tired. Slows you down. Doesn\\u2019t let you truly rest. It keeps others from getting close. \\n\\nAbuse is like that. It teaches us a lot\\u2014lessons no one should ever learn. And lessons we don\\u2019t even realize we\\u2019re still living out. \\n\\nSo we may escape abusive relationships, but we\\u2019re stuck in limbo, carrying the textbooks we think hold the truth about life, love, and ourselves. \\nRebecca realized this.
