Love is something you do for someone else, not something you do for yourself.
We cannot erase the past, but we can accept it as history.
Love is a choice you make everyday.
All of us blossom when we feel loved and wither when we do not feel loved.
I am not minimizing emotions. Emotions are an important part of life.
The getting out part [of advise] may well be true. Because if you have tried the tender love thing... typically the abuser is not going to change until they are pushed in a corner.
