Anger + Moving on (Daisy’s birthday)

Yesterday was Daisy’s birthday. I woke up and immediately felt angry. Anger at the fact that she’s gone, that she got one birthday, that she was only a baby when he killed her. Anger that the system failed her and no criminal charges were or ever will be brought against her. Angry at the factContinue reading “Anger + Moving on (Daisy’s birthday)”

Updates (Court + Life)

Since I last posted, they’ve had two court dates, essentially to clear the whole skipping court/fugitive debacle and get things back on track with the case. As it stands, the next pretrial hearing is April 26. As for me, I compartmentalize my life fairly well. And I’m getting tired of it. I’ve loved my careerContinue reading “Updates (Court + Life)”

I removed the post: my statement to police of the day MB killed Kirby

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 getContinue reading “I removed the post: my statement to police of the day MB killed Kirby”

I had surgery this morning.

A septoplasty, again. Necessary, feeling alright after it. Recovery for a few days. But this isn’t as much about that as it is how grateful I am for my partner. He’s here for me every step of the way – holding my hand as I stand up and walk around, going to the store toContinue reading “I had surgery this morning.”

Life Update, Life Happenings

Life is good. My life is really good. I’ve had some really good things going on, so let’s talk about it. First of all, I’m teaching AP Spanish this year. Which is a huge step for my career. It’s an incredible accomplishment and honestly, I’m having a blast. I love teaching AP Spanish. My studentsContinue reading “Life Update, Life Happenings”

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”

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. So here’s my reflection: I have received more support than ever, especially lately, especially now that Mathew Berry has been chargedContinue reading “Victim Blamers Need Murder to Understand Abuse”

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}”
