Actress Abigail Breslin, who rose to fame as a child for her starring role in “Little Miss Sunshine,” took advantage of the fact that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the United States and shared, in a multi post -slide on Instagram, which is a “survivor”.
She faced zombies in two “Zombieland” movies while being beaten at her boyfriend’s house.
“I have been in a very abusive relationship for almost 2 years,” she wrote to Abigail. “My attacker took advantage of my innocence and naivety and the relationship subsequently turned violent.”
During that relationship, Abigail says she was “beaten regularly, locked in rooms and forced to pretend everything was fine and normal” while hiding “wounds that most people don’t even see.”
“I would use concealer and hardened foundation to hide all the bruises because somehow I still cared about this person,” he continued.
Abigail said the abuse made her feel “ugly and hated” and as if she “deserved less than filth.”
“I was sure, there must have been something completely wrong with me. I must have been a bitch, a problem, stupid, worthless, ridiculous, overly sensitive, unreasonable and unloved. Those two years were the loneliest I’ve ever heard.” she added. .
Abigail thanked her family and friends for their “support” during this tragic time, for “helping me out of this horrible situation”, and thanks to that she now has “a wonderful, healthy, happy, extraordinary relationship with my fiance”.
“My C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is much better than it was in the first 2-3 years after my abusive relationship,” she said. “I still have moments. I still have nightmares occasionally and some things still provoke me. I’m still healing.”
Abigail also said she wanted to share her experience to make others feel “less alone” and remind those who are “in an abusive relationship right now” that “you can get out of it.”
“I know it sounds impossible and terrifying, but you have survived this long and you can survive if you have the right tools and supports.”
