An important question, "Who am I?" Perhaps it is best answered by saying who I am not.
I am not a victim. I am not the wife of the man who abused me for 11 years. I am not that whore, that slut, that cunt, who he choked, and kicked, and tortured. I am not the woman who put up with violence and filth and turned her eye blindly when he took advantage of his own children. I am not the good wife who never complained and looked the other way while he fucked every woman he could convince to drop her panties for him. I am not that long-suffering spouse who knew he was abusing other women at work, harassing, exploiting and using.
No. I am no longer his victim.
So WHO am I?
I am strong.
I am smart.
I am strong.
I am smart.
I am capable.
I am courageous.
I am generous.
I am kind.
I am a good provider for my son.
I am an educator.
I am a worker.
I am a giver.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I am loved.
I am the one who, after years of abuse, humiliation and torture finally handed you your own balls.
I am not "a bitch," but I am "that bitch" who stood up and said "ENOUGH! NO MORE!"
So when you call me "that bitch" you declare both your own weakness and my strength.
Yeah. I am that bitch.
