I filed a police report last week
I’m 100% sure my abuser is violating my order of protection…again. Let’s rewind: You know I’m active on social media – Tik Tok, especially. It’s been amazing to share my story and help so many while educating about domestic abuse and animal abuse. I’ve also been in the news plenty of times. My abuser, whoContinue reading “I filed a police report last week”
I’m crying at the bowling alley because my family was joking about domestic abuse.
Yeah. Oh and my dad is the one who started it. Somebody noticed bruises on my mom’s arm and my dad started joking about “I know how to control my emotions! Wasn’t me!” and then the entire extended family starts joking about domestic abuse. I had bruises on my body from when my abuser physicallyContinue reading “I’m crying at the bowling alley because my family was joking about domestic abuse.”
Victim Blamers Need Murder to Understand Abuse
I said it. Victim blamers need the victim to be murdered to understand the power of abuse. Until then, they hold the victim as responsible for being abused instead of the abuser for abusing.

Book
I wrote a little bit for my book tonight. I was on a walk and just decided that I was going to go home and write. It is HARD to revisit the past, all the horror and trauma, and live in those memories. To write about them in detail, to relive each and every terrifyingContinue reading “Book”
I had a panic attack last night {triggered}
And I haven’t had one of those in a while. I was triggered and I felt my body go into the freeze mode it always did when I was terrified for my life around Mat. My boyfriend is so great but his driving gives me severe anxiety and ultimately it led to a panic attackContinue reading “I had a panic attack last night {triggered}”
Inner Child
Healing the inner child is TOUGH. WORK. Like right now it’s probably the thing that gets triggered the most. As my therapist said, my adult self is doing great & healing fabulously. My inner child? She’s got some work to do. But hey, she’s had a whole lifetime of dealing with these traumas and unlearningContinue reading “Inner Child”
Trauma + Grief + “this is my story”
My sister sent me a memory on Snapchat the other day. 3 clips. Each one was her playing and cuddling with Kirby. And it absolutely shattered my heart. My sister there with Kirby, love as pure as light. 5 years ago. And all I could think about was how Mathew Berry so cruelly, so horrifically,Continue reading “Trauma + Grief + “this is my story””
