I thought my husband loved me no matter what, but when he made fun of my nose in a group chat with his friends, I learnt that even the biggest worries can be used as a joke.
Being betrayed hurt a lot, but my mother-in-law Helen helped me find the strength to talk to Harris about it and get my sense of self-worth back.
The trip wasn’t easy, but it taught me that trust and strength are what make someone truly beautiful. I learnt to love the things that made me special and to ignore the mean jokes that had been bothering me for a long time.
The fact that Harris said sorry and tried to make things right was just the start of our path to healing and salvation.
This taught me that sometimes we need to go through something painful to learn to value the beauty in other people and ourselves.
I’m thankful that Helen helped me find my voice and stand up for myself by giving me advice and support. My nose used to make me feel bad about myself, but now it’s a sign of my power and individuality.
