I am choosing to move forward and am relieved to have provided context,” Bristowe explained. “While I prefer to move beyond this topic, it felt necessary to advocate for myself. I have undoubtedly moved forward, yet this does not negate my right to express my truth.”
Addressing Anxiety and Moving On
She further added, “Do I experience anxiety regarding my measured response? Do I believe I am frequently subtly criticized? Yes. However, I am prioritizing positivity and prayer moving forward. For everyone involved.”
Bristowe also responded to supportive comments from her followers.
“I want to clarify that I was not at my best emotionally during the last few years of my relationship due to losing respect and acting unkindly,” she admitted within a comment. “This is my responsibility.”
