I am a victim of abuse, and I am still being abused.
I am secure and safe for now but I have no safe space to land in, no safe house to go to and so I stay. Mind you this is not about anyone I am living with, I live alone and that's a part of the abuse.

We were often told that having needs made us selfish or difficult.
We learned that to be accepted, we had to adapt, accommodate, and absorb.
