Years ago, I was in an abusive relationship that stole my confidence, my ability to feel free, and put me into an ever-persistent jail that I still haven't escaped. Not a day goes by that I don't think about my abusive ex-husband. I have nightmares and my memories are filled with terror day after day, night after night. As I reflect on my life now, I realized that what I needed most was something that would allow me to believe in myself and my abilities. It would allow me to focus on the things that matter and not my fear or trauma. Because if I didn't find that I would stay lost.
