Yesterday Oprah had the second part with the 200 men who stood up against abuse, I have only seen small segments on her website, but the few I seen offered this, “Standing UP against abuse”.
Standing up and speaking up with courage, releases the shame, the blame and the rage that live in silence.
Standing up is not a victim stance.
Standing up takes courage.
Standing in the truth of your life and your life experiences, standing and speaking of the deeds of evil you survived as a child, the mixed messages, the bad definitions, the path it set you upon, all stop when you stand up.
You then pick your own path.
A path free of abuse.
I believe to the depth of my soul, you either are sitting down with abusers and letting the legacy continue, OR you are standing up and speaking out and walking away from the abuse.
It takes courage to stand up, but standing up is the only thing that will stop abuse.
Sitting and remaining in relationships where the abuse lives is sitting down in abuse.
I Stand UP!
I applaud these strong men and the courage it takes to stand up and I am standing with you!
It will change your whole life, from being a victim to becoming a survivor.
Standing up and speaking is the only way to end this.
It is never too late to stand up!
