127: You‘re Allowed to Share your Story

We have got to stop prioritizing the abusers life over the victim. <p>I see this happen so often. This is something that I’ve experienced personally. It’s something that my friends have gone through.</p> <p>I see it all the time on TikTok and Twitter.</p> <p>A friend of mine reached out to me and told me about her experience with this.</p> <p>For whatever reason, we find it completely appropriate to look at a survivor, who is sharing the most vulnerable part of their life, and say “you don’t want to ruin his reputation.”</p> <p>This is why survivors do not come forward. Because guess what? As survivors, we have been so beaten down physically and/or emotionally to the point where we feel extremely guilty for even mentioning the fact that someone hurt us.</p> <p>Then when we finally do speak up, you have the audacity to say, “Don’t ruin their reputation.”</p> A survivor of abuse cannot ruin what the abuser already ruined. <p><a href='http://www.karleighlynne.com/permissionslip'>www.karleighlynne.com/permissionslip</a></p> <p><a href='http://www.karleighlynne.com/worthyjournal'>www.karleighlynne.com/worthyjournal</a> </p> <p><a href='http://www.instagram.com/karleigh.lynne'>www.instagram.com/karleigh.lynne</a> </p>
