Take care everyone and thanks for reading!
In Brian Martin's book Invincible, he identifies lies that those of us who grew up in a home with childhood domestic violence (CDV) believe. One lie that children raised in a home with domestic violence may believe, is that it is safer to be alone. This lie makes it very difficult for the child in adulthood to connect and to trust. CDV makes it difficult to allow someone in and to open up and be vulnerable with them. This lie also makes it difficult to trust your partner and to be open with them about thoughts, feelings and needs. Martin's book goes on to explain that when we do connect and place our trust in others, we find great happiness and fulfillment. If this blog hits home with you and your struggles with connecting, I encourage you to read Invincible by Brian Martin.
