Why pretend the trauma never happened? Why hide the emotional scars? Why bottle up emotional turmoil ? For the comfort of others? To keep family together? To not offend anyone? Stop thinking that hiding the truth is better than offending others with the truth ,those that retaliate are comfortable with the lies. They are the ones that hurt you but convince you that you are the problem. You are not the problem they are. You are worthy of ❤️ love.
