Justice for Valentina

 Hello,

I believe our government should teach in schools and universities what emotional intelligence is, children and adolescents should work more on their self-esteem and on tools that help them cope with difficult situations in life. Here in my country nobody explains to us what it is to have a safe home, what it is to have healthy behaviors in relationships, how to cope with stressful situations in the work environment. These days the news of the murder of Dj Valentina Trespalacios by her sentimental partner John Poulos, an American, who came to the country to make a home with her, became very popular. Among the things that they have shown about the relationship, you could see the red flags, he was an insecure person with very low self-esteem and he did not trust his partner. Now I fervently believe that at the slightest red flag we should move away, because this type of relationship is accompanied by a lot of violence and suffering. I hope this country can do Justice for Valentina and many of the women who suffer domestic violence.

It's been two months since I've been single, I'm still at home, according to my parents I can stay as long as I want to recover and organize ideas before continuing with my life. Every day I feel better. I have noticed that it's difficult for me to be absolutely silent with myself, so I have been working on it, I have been listening to what I think and what I say to myself when I am silent and alone. I have been walking in the morning with my mom, exercise and sun are necessary to regulate neurotransmitters. With my best friend we want to carry out a project but she was forty minutes late for the meeting we had today (obviously there was no meeting), if I have learned anything it is that you must respect the time that others give you.

My ex called me on Saturday because he supposedly missed me and wanted to know how I was, once again he told me that I had abandoned him, the day he stayed with his whole family and in which I told him that I didn't support his idea of ​​driving drunk . In short, in relationships they must want to grow and recognize things that aren't positive and put their chest to the situation. I feel that he turns to me because he has noticed that I was a person who offered him unconditional care and affection and although he's with his family, he's practically alone. I have no anger or grudges against him, I hope he's happy and finds some peace.
