I got a tattoo!!!!!!

[PunkRockGirl]

So I'm 30 years old and have wanted a tattoo since I was 18. But I had made a deal with myself that whenever I knew exactly what I wanted and where I would have to wait 6 months before getting it done and it's been 6 months now.

Last year I fell in love and married a man who ended up being really horrible. The relationship ended with me having bulimia, no friends, isolated from my family and the morning after he told me to get the eff out of his house he held me down and raped me. So after a brief meltdown I pulled myself together, got a good job and then a nice apartment. I started dating a man who I thought was really nice... then out of the blue he wants to break up but then not break up and it's nearly been too much for me to handle especially considering that all of this has happened on what would have been my 1 year anniversary.

I felt like I needed a physical scar on my body so I could let go of the emotional ones. I needed something that would always be there to remind me that yes, it hurt but I survived it. So it says, "L'amour blessé" which means love hurts, or more literally and the one that makes more sense for what i've been through, "love injured".

So sorry to hear what you have been thru. I hope the tattoo is a release of the pain and sorrow you have been thru but also a reminder you are willing to move on and makes things better for yourself!!

Aww you poor dear, I have a DF who was married to a freak like that for a very long time and he forced her to have 5 kids, she was tiny and broken but is now strong free & with someone else so happy endings do happen. If the tattoo reminds you to run from men who are bad for you then tattoo, I hope it does it's job. Be good to yourself
