A year or so had passed after escaping LO when I came across the term “psychological abuse”. Up until that point I didn’t know I’d been abused and I’d been judging myself for still being so emotional about the past. I didn’t have the space in my new relationship with David to speak about the details of what I’d gone through so I kept a lot of the truth inside. But as I read about the signs and symptoms that day, I realized I finally had a name for it. The way he would insult me and scream at me, his extreme possessiveness, the explosive anger and threats he would use to control me—it all fell under the umbrella of psychological abuse. This was a huge step forward in my recovery because there was a sense of detachment from the turmoil now, an understanding that the inner chaos I was experiencing was an appropriate response to this sort of trauma. Now that I could identify what I’d been through , I could educate myself on it and learn how to move forward. || #Carborundum for calm and gentle grounding.
