Linda,
I’m so sorry that you have not been respected and appreciated and loved simply for who you are, because no matter what else, you are enough, good enough, deserving enough, lovable enough. Bless you and your 72 year old heart for still beating strong and still looking and learning, for a better way, for more awareness, and for a better life for yourself. You are an inspiration to all of us that we can, and will, find a way through ????.

This was how I have navigated through life since childhood and subsequent relationships. I equated love and abuse as normal. I’d freeze and try to be invisible or fawn to protect myself. Am so angry that it took until I was 70 to see my mother’s violent and emotional abuse ruined my life. Childhood trauma led me straight into adolescent then domestic partner violence. Being taken advantage of by so many people because was desperate to be loved and cherished; it makes my old 72 year old heart so sad that I always settled for so little. All those lost years.
