When My Daughter’s Spark Dimmed, I Knew I Had to Leave

There was a moment I couldn’t ignore anymore.

"When My Daughter’s Spark Dimmed, I Knew I Had to Leave" Blog Post

My daughter used to come home from the playground full of stories. The swing. The slide. The toys. The laughter.

Then one day, the stories stopped.

Her eyes went quiet. Her spark was gone.

That’s when I understood that the abuse wasn’t just affecting me anymore.

Children don’t always have words, but their bodies tell the truth.

Apathy. Withdrawal. Sudden changes. Loss of joy.

We are often told to stay for the kids. To endure. To sacrifice ourselves in the name of family.

But children do not need us to tolerate harm to prove love. They need us to protect their sense of safety, their bodies, their inner world.

We are often told to stay for the kids.

But I learned something different.

We leave for the kids.

If this resonates, trust yourself. Your intuition is not wrong 🤍
