In the end, relationship trauma is not only about what someone did to you. It is also about what it took from your sense of self, your safety, your timing, your ability to rest inside your own heart. But that is not the end of the story. The beautiful part, the difficult part, is that you can rebuild. Not into the person you were before, but into someone softer in the right places and stronger in the necessary ones. And sometimes that version of you is not ruined at all. Sometimes the new version of yourself is the first honest home you have ever had.
