BonitaBlue+FollowDomestic Violence Survivor & Author BonitaBlue was asked what the first red flag was that she mistook for love. Her answer: “When Jeremy physically hurt another man for touching me. At the time, I did not see violence. I saw protection. I thought his jealousy meant I mattered. I thought his rage meant he cared. I thought his possessiveness meant I was deeply loved. What I did not understand then was that violence in your defense is still violence. And the man willing to hurt others over you may one day hurt you too.” ═══════ ❖ ═══════ Sometimes the first red flag is the one we romanticize the most. — BonitaBlue #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SurvivorTruth #EmotionalAbuse #HealingAfterAbuse #BonitaBlue 10Share
