Unfinished Battles: A Story of SA Survivor

There were things she never spoke about. Not because they weren't real, but because saying them out loud made them heavier, as if words could solidify pain into something even more unbearable.

She had survived things most people couldn't even imagine. As a child, she learned that love could hurt, that trust could be broken before it even had a chance to grow. Abuse wasn't just a word to her-it was a reality that shaped every part of her world.
