9 years today! 9 years ago today, I left my last abuser. It is a day of reflection: There is no right way to feel. I feel grateful to be alive I feel sad about how I could have actually been dead for the past 9 years if I didn’t leave. So many things could have ended up so different. I am honored to have built so many amazing relationships with so many amazing humans over these past 9 years, I love you and thank you for seeing me 💟 #savedmyself #dvsurvivor #nevergiveup #amazimghumans #supporters #regaininglife #livingfreely #liveinlove #shareyourstory https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQ7vtmjCYi/?igshid=8arnpuk0elbb

F 31. Divorcee and a mother of two. I used to have sex for money back then to sustain ourselves.

I am a mother to two and used to think that we had the perfect family until one day my ex-husband revealed to me that he was in love with another woman. After talks and a lot of crying sessions we mutually filed for a divorce. He didn't wanted to keep kids with him but was willing to provide anything and everything. But my own ego was big enough to reject that and told him that I can feed them by myself. End of the story and he moved to another place with his new woman and I shifted to a rented house with kids.

Soon the reality hit me. I didn't had a job and was living in a meagre income that my parents provided me, who themselves weren't that well off. Around this time I met an old friend of mine who after hearing my story suggested me this line of work. She herself did this and some modelling back in the days. I rejected the idea at first. But as days went by and upon realizing that I desperately needed money, I contacted her.

She introduced me to a guy who worked as my middleman for a while. He would fix me with clients. Once the money started to come in, I enrolled myself in college. Classes in the day time and 'profession' in the evening, while my family babysitted my kids.

While doing this, I got in contact with some clients who were well off and with good intentions. I was able to cut the middleman by now as these clients themselves introduced me to their friends and acquaintances so I was now directly contacting them. A handful of them actually helped financially (other than what they laid me for sex) to buy books, household and such after knowing my story. I never told my family what I did exactly.

Last year, I got graduated and eventually ended up in a firm. I quit the other job since then. Though I still have sex with some of those clients even now. Not for payment anymore but that is what my sex life is as of these days as I got no interest to date anyone and be in a relationship.

“I used to believe that having the perfect body would solve all my problems. I believed that if I was skinny, I would be beautiful, and if I was beautiful, I would gain confidence, win people’s friendship and affection, finally gain the courage to participate in life, and ultimately, find happiness. What I didn’t realize however, until much too late, was that my quest for perfection did the very opposite. It robbed me of my confidence, made me push away friends, and forced me to miss out on fun experiences and opportunities. It isolated me, always left me feeling inadequate, and almost cost me my life. No matter how thin I got, how many complements I received, or how many people expressed a romantic interest in me, I never felt good enough. No amount of external validation and no number on the scale was ever enough to make me feel happy, whole, or beautiful. It was only after the relentless attempts at finding happiness and fulfillment through losing weight, and failing each time, that I realized my happiness couldn’t be contingent upon a number. It was only after my eating disorder stripped me of everything and everyone I cared about that I was able to choose another path. When I found the strength to reach out for help, the courage to identify and confront the real issues causing me pain, and the will to keep going, no matter how hopeless things seemed, life got better — I got better. Yes, my body is a lot bigger now, but so is my life, because I’ve gained so much more than just weight. I’ve gained confidence and energy and happiness. I’ve gained new friendships and life experiences and opportunities. I’ve found my voice and my personality and my passions. I’ve gained a tremendous amount of growth and learned so much about who I am and what I’m capable of. I’ve made peace with my past and I’ve created room for my future — all things that would have never been possible had I continued to pursue perfection and thinness. So when your body hating thoughts get loud and you hear that voice in your head promise you that losing weight will solve your problems and remedy the pain, remind yourself of this. And ask yourself, “What is more important to me — the size of my body or the size of my life?” - Daniell Koepke
