So well said Kitanya! Your words are deep, powerful and so painfully exact! I can see layers and layers that pin point my experience. We were able to escape from my husband, but even after divorce he doesn't stop. He has swept up an army of followers set against us. It's all unbearable. But one of the worst wounds is having everything wiped away. The feeling of abandonment and isolation, because he has cut us off from everyone, is essentially like cutting off my oxygen supply. Your voice is so important. We need to know we are not alone; to connect with other's that understand; to see this (behavior); to define it like you have is a lifeline. We need the validation that helps draw us away from the confusion, chaos and doubt. Thank you!!!
