Awakening to reality and finding strength
When experiencing that abuse, you are not imagining things. You were not making up things. You were not being paranoid. You were not overreacting. You were seeing the truth for the first time the truth that most people do not choose to see. Because when God decides to elevate you, He opens your eyes. That’s the most important thing. You start noticing how fake the smiles are smiles that most people think are genuine. Those compliments they feel sharp, and you can understand the real meaning. You know they’re not coming from their heart.
You deeply understand, at a subconscious level, that the love they claimed to have for you was really just control like I did in my mother’s case. And when you resist their control, what do they do? They lash out. They smear you. They make you the villain like I was made in my entire family. It’s not because you changed that’s what they’ll say. It’s because you woke up, and that different version of you is what they cannot ever accept because your new version demands that they should change, that they should acknowledge they are rotten. They need to give up on their selfishness, and they need to be better.
The minute you woke up, their masks began to fall slowly, then all at once. You started seeing their envy, their jealousy, their cruelty, their manipulation. You saw how they delighted in your pain, how they kept you small, kept you doubting, kept you begging for scraps of love. And then you realize: you do not deserve any of that. God let you see it for a purpose not to destroy you, but to free you. Because you cannot conquer what you cannot see. And sometimes, seeing things for what they are is the most painful thing that can happen to you.
The moment you said, “No more,” you became the ultimate enemy. The moment you stopped playing their game, they called you crazy, selfish, ungrateful. They could not stand your strength because it meant they could no longer control you. So, they pushed you out. They whispered about you. They twisted your story. They made you the outcast, didn’t they?
