Yelling felt like power.It was just pain with a microphone.
I thought being loud meant I was leading. Really, I was just overwhelmed and calling it authority. It wasn’t a betrayal. It was a spill. And I was reacting like I was in a courtroom defending my life. That’s the part nobody teaches you— how fast your past shows up in your tone. Y

I felt Like I didn’t Have a voice
If you’re a 90s baby like me there was just certain stuff we could NOT do. Like talking when an adult is talking. Like talking back. Like saying any word that even resembled a curse word. (What the heck) or Like even making a face that even looked like we had an attitude. When I was growing up kids

A woman stands under a canopy of blue string lights. Text overlays state the red flag: "He compares me to other women" and details how this made her feel insecure and unseen.
Ever stayed even though something felt off?
I didn’t want to believe it. Every time something felt off, he would gaslight me and make me feel crazy for even asking. If I questioned why he was distant, he’d say I was ‘overthinking.’ If I brought up something that hurt me, he’d flip it and make it my fault. The truth is… the signs were ther
