The following was sourced from an Australian mental Health Site, sorry but I don’t have the address.
- Because you don’t want your perpetrator to win.
- Because you deserve to live.
- Because your life is valuable and worth saving; your life has meaning and importance even if I cannot see it right now.
- Because the abuse was not your fault.
- Because you owe it to myself to give healing a try.
- Because if you die today you will never again feel love for another human being.
- Because if you die today you will never again see sunlight pouring through the trees, or a flower open, or a bird take flight, or the kindness and compassion in another’s eyes.
- Because you have already won. You have shown that you have the resilience, courage and stubborn will to survive until now and no-one can take that away from you.
- Because if you win this battle now you have beaten those who hurt you as an innocent child.
- Because your are reading this and have read this far, there is a small part of you that wants to survive and recognises that you are precious and special and deserve to live.
