Dear Diary 5,
Why do all of us who have been hurt by verbal and physical abuse have such a strong need to be heard and believed by those around us?
Why must there be this need for justice?
Why must there be this need for our abusers to understand the harm they caused us?
Why does it hurt so deeply, even so many years later?
Why does this pain, even if hidden, have the power to influence our actions in life?
Why doesn't the pain heal as the years go by, while the memories fade and we only think of them again when something brings them back to the forefront?
Why do I feel suffocated by the injustice because they think they did nothing wrong, and I want them to admit it, even just once?
