That day was by far the worst day of my life. A year and a half ago, on the 1 year anniversary of that day, I made a blog post sharing the statement I provided police of everything that happened that day. It’s gruesome. And yesterday, I removed it.
From time to time, I get hate comments still on social media of people who think they know the situation based on what I share. They sometimes will refer to that post and say I’m 100% responsible for that day. I’m not, but it’s annoying to see those comments nonetheless.
Here are the truths: MB tortured and killed my dog Kirby. He held me hostage that day and forced me to witness every cruel act and harm he caused my baby. That pain will never go away. But, the other truth: he’s facing felony charges for what he did. The prosecutor saw the case inside and out. The grand jury indicted MB. That’s the truth.
People still don’t understand abuse and these comments are few and far between these days, so I delete and block them because it’s not my responsibility to prove my truth to them. But I don’t want people judging or blaming me for the absolute pain and grief I have suffered.
I’ll still share tidbits of that day and someday I’ll share it on my podcast and in my book. But for now, let’s stand together in our love for Kirby and awe that I was going to be next, but I survived.
I survived.
