She verbally abused me
He sexually did
She put me down
He let me down
She gave up on me
He set me up
He made me self conscious
She made up lies
He didn't stand up for me
She laughed in my face
He did the same
All I did was continue to be a victim...But no more..

Each She/He statement is about a different person in my life. These people are no longer allowed to affect me in this new life i have created for myself. Stand your ground, no matter what it may cost you, because in the long run, dear, it will be worth it.
