Words

I have a very dear friend who reminds me that words are very powerful. Remember the children’s verse ”Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? Well. That is a lie.

WORDS CAN, AND DO, HURT. BUT THEY DON’T HAVE TO. WORDS DO HAVE POWER. USE THEM WISELY.

So now, I am attempting to replace all the words from my ex about how it was my failings as a wife and general human being that made him cheat, lie and hide money from me, with new words. Here are some of my favourites.

WORDS DO HAVE POWER. USE THEM WISELY.
