I believe humans are able to get over, and move on from trauma, if they face it and deal with it. I'm not saying it's easy, just that it's possible given the time, and self love.
My first boyfriend physically assaulted me on a regular basis (I had major bruises all over my body that I covered up for years - long sleeves on the most humid days), threatened to kill me if I left him (a loaded shotgun pointed in your face is pretty fuckin' convincing), and raped me...I can honesty say that if he asked, I'd be comfortable sitting down to a cup of coffee with him and talking about life in general. I've got no hate, and no prayers that karma will "fix him."
My life is full of beautiful blessings. I hope he has a good life too, and isn't hurting any more women.
❤️
