I had an order of protection against my abuser and I contacted him
1 year ago today, on July 4. Days after escaping him. I contacted him. Let me tell you why. First of all, he had been violating the order of protection.

It’s 3:46 in the morning on June 24 as I’m writing this. I think my body woke me up at this time as a trauma response. This time last year, at 3 in the morning, I was carrying the burden of a grave secret. Mat and I were the only ones who knew the truth,Continue reading “3am | June 24”
Letter to the State’s Attorney Who Failed Me
Sent. This is the letter I just sent the supervisor of the state’s attorneys who spent 45 minutes telling me how it could easily have been me that abused and killed my dog Kirby that day.
