It is not your fault, my dear.
You did not know he would act the way he did.
You did not know he would be as manipulative as he was.
You had no idea he would turn out to be physically and emotionally abusive.
You didn't deserve it, and it is not your fault. I need you to understand that.
You had no way of stopping him.
You were helpless, but you are not now.
You are strong and you are not a victim.
It is time to forgive yourself, dear.
