Many are so use to being criticized every day that when they leave the confines of that cage they continue to take everything very personal. As they try to step up and speak up for them selves they sometimes falter in their approach. Those that patiently and lovingly stay with them through those times are Angels.
Remember those that abandoned you during your healing are just scared with serious issues of their own. Try to forgive them, but especially forgive yourself for the stumbling and the awkwardness in this new world of freedom. You are learning to walk again. You are raw, terrified and so very vulnerable, easily opening your self up to unfriendly situations..
It takes time to realize you are able to safely express yourself. Exercising your muscles of self empowerment takes practice. Breathe and keep on keeping on. One day, yes maybe several years later you will wake up and realize you are restored to wholeness again. That you are free.
