Been there - Risked it all - home, car, financial security, relationships with my children, family, friends - to escape an abusive relationship. I could only take those risks when it became absolutely intolerable for me to remain in that environment - when I realized I was failing to value and care for myself. Even if it meant that I lost EVERYTHING and was living under a bridge with no friends, no family, and no resources, I was willing to take that chance. I was ready to get out at any cost.
Best action I ever took in my life.
I can now look back and see that once I made the decision to value myself enough to remove myself from such an unhealthy and unsafe situation, once I trusted myself enough to believe my intuition and believe I could survive, the universe opened up and started providing for me in ways I never imagined. In other words, I began receiving value that matched the value I placed on my own life and well-being.
