True Honesty

I am going to be truly upfront and honest here, because why the hell not?
(I am going from the power a particular song has given me.)
I hereby confess that my ex was/is not all sweetness and niceties. He can, and has been physically and verbally violent and aggressive. Not just towards professionals, but to me as well. I have been hiding this truth for a long time, as I was ashamed of both myself as well as him. I didn't want to accept the truth that I had been living within, but now is the time, because if not now, then when?
I need to do this for my daughter, as well as myself. She deserves the world, and I plan to try and give it to her. In order to do that, I must break down my own walls and barriers, accept reality in all it's harsh light, and reach out to others. This is something I have never done in my life, and it scares the hell out of me, but I must do it! I know I can do it, and I know it will be incredibly difficult, but I have to. So, here goes...!
