Saying Goodbye to the Abuse Victim Identity

Saying goodbye in an open letter using self-reflective writing helps you acknowledge the ill-treatment endured, process the consequences, and free yourself of the abuse victim’s identity. This is my open goodbye letter.

Dear Abuse Victim,

Unfortunately, you suffered ill-treatment as a child and grew up in a dysfunctional family without the parental and spiritual guidance to live an abundant life.

The father who was supposed to provide and protect violated you, and the mother who was supposed to nurture and love neglected you.

Open Letter to Parents

I wrote this sincere “Open Letter to Parents” back in 2014. I was putting the broken pieces (called life) back together at the time. I was healing emotionally from child abuse and domestic violence and spiritually from years of living in darkness with fear.

Dear Parents,

I’m mad as Hell at you!

The life you prepared me for was full of turmoil, anguish, and pain.

It sucked!
