I’m so angry. I’m so hurt. Fuck the system. Fuck Kim Foxx. Fuck the prosecutors who victim blamed. Fuck them. I’m angry. And hurt. And I need to talk about it. Or write about it for now (I have therapy tomorrow night). I’m so angry and hurt I feel myself coming to tears. On Tuesday,Continue reading “I’m angry. Angrier than I thought. Fuck the system.”

I am the sun ☀️
In therapy this week, I reprocessed some of my trauma and how I was triggered into feeling paralyzing fear when my dog Rosie jumped on my lap as I drove the other day. It brought me right back to the day Mat killed Kirby, because that morning, as I drove to Mat’s house, Kirby jumpedContinue reading “I am the sun ☀️”
Rosie went to the vet & I still grieve Daisy HARD.
Rosie wasn’t feeling well this week. I emailed the vet on Tuesday night and asked if I could bring her in this weekend. They wrote back on Wednesday morning saying they’d prefer to see her as soon as possible with her symptoms and they had an opening for that afternoon. I took it and toldContinue reading “Rosie went to the vet & I still grieve Daisy HARD.”
Shock, Reality, Truth
I had a phone consultation with a potential new therapist today. My old therapist and I had practiced what to say on these consultations, since disclosing my truth can be very triggering. When I had left the message for her a couple weeks ago, I told her that her profile interests me because she advocatesContinue reading “Shock, Reality, Truth”

This has been exciting and something I’m looking forward to, but recently I’ve been feeling a lot of grief and guilt come up. Grief and guilt about Kirby and Daisy. Our life together wasContinue reading “Grief, Guilt, and Moving On (literally)”
GSD/My sister/Triggers
My sister and her boyfriend got a German Shepherd a couple months ago. And she and I haven’t been the same since. German Shepherds have been a huge trigger for me. Obviously. A huge part of the abuse was the German Shepherd. He had it attack me, I watched helplessly as it attacked my dogs,Continue reading “GSD/My sister/Triggers”
I gained 20 lbs, but at least I don’t want to die anymore
Yeah. Putting it out there, my biggest insecurity and a huge internal battle. I started meds, antidepressants specifically, and I gained 20 lbs. But hey, at least I don’t want to die anymore. I first went on antidepressants, Zoloft specifically, in 2012 when I had depression and anxiety for the first time. College was rough.Continue reading “I gained 20 lbs, but at least I don’t want to die anymore”
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. It is empowering to write this letter and send it. I wish you peace, Kathy Morrissey. Letter to aContinue reading “Letter to the State’s Attorney Who Failed Me”
