What happened
Like many women raised in traditional cultures and religious contexts, I was taught that a “good” woman holds the family together.
Why it matters

As a highly educated, financially independent and well-informed professional, admitting I had lived in an abusive relationship for a long time felt shameful and felt like a personal defeat.
