“If you are trading silence or compliance for love, you are being cheated. When acceptance or love is withheld if you reveal secrets, the value of the relationship is just an illusion. Love cannot be earned, bought or traded–only freely given. You are worthy of love that doesn’t require you to protect your abuser or sacrifice yourself.” LoveSilenceRelationshipSacrificeRespectSecretsSelf SacrificeComplianceAbuse Acceptance Author:Christina Enevoldsen
