Red Flags
She ignored the hurtful name calling, because he said he was just joking.
She ignored the abuse, because he promised to never do it again.
She ignored the voices screaming for her to leave, because he made her feel like she was the crazy one.
She ignored her tears on her pillow at night, because he told her she's too sensitive.
She ignored the fear in the kids eyes, because it wasn't his fault they were scared of him.
One day she looked in the mirror, no longer recognized who she was. The strong woman she once was, was gone. The blunt, fierce woman she had been was caged. One day she busted through the cage and decided she was no longer going to ignore the things that were killing her. She rose up with fire in her eyes and is now prepared to take on the demon that tried to kill her.
She will no longer sit in silence.
She was abused behind closed doors...but she is healing in the open.
