blinders off

It took a long time for me to realize the one sided relationship I have had in the past. I have been treated like a leper and in may ways as if I were a whore. I wouldn't treat my dog the way I have been treated and when the tables turn it is insinuated that maybe I have been drinking or that something has happened to cause this. Yes, something happened and eventually it happens to all survivors; we open our eyes and we stand up for ourselves and start giving back that which we did not ask for. I am not property nor will I ever be.
