About This Quote

This is a very important quote. It gives insight into what people might be going through when they are being physically abused. Many people do not see these signs for many years, or even decades, until the abuse has been so severe that they feel betrayed by their body. When things begin to happen to your body that you didn’t realize were happening, it is hard to believe that they really happened. The mind will deny this happening because the mind is a powerful thing and it is difficult for a mind to accept that something as big as abuse can actually happen without any signs or indications that it is happening.
