Stop the wedding. There were so many warning signs… ignored by most and I was completely oblivious. Just an 18yr old girl desperate to be loved. I know it was no one’s job to save me but good Lord, what could of been prevented if even one adult had stood up that day and said… you know, I don’t thin

Am I about to crash out? Maybe… signed one exhausted special needs mama who has cried for 3 days over how mean people are about my CHILD. #crashout #specialneedsmom #ableism #stateofemergency #nohatelikechristianlove

Well buckle in for some heated discussion about inclusion because now you’ve got me talking. My son deserves accommodations. He learns at school just as your child learns at school even if they are learning at different paces. #specialeducation #inclusive #SPED #specialneedsmom #iep

You can’t be prolife if you only support the birthing of the babies. You can’t be prolife and support removing SPED students from the same school yours attend. You can’t be prolife and support the takedown of DEI. #specialeducation #probirth #inclusive #ableism #specialneedsmom

Replying to @…anyway SPED students do learn. This isn’t daycare. It’s school. It’s an educational right our kids have. My son has just as much right to be in school. #specialeducation #inclusive #iep #SPED

My sons SPED classroom is completely segregated from Gen Ed and yes it’s a problem. Is this happening anywhere else? #SPED #specialeducation #inclusive #disabilityadvocate #iep

Just me casually making a great big blunder…. Cupping? Not for the weak. Not for the relaxed. Never. Again. #cupping #massagetherapy #painful #cuppingtherapy #ouch

The life I had with him vs. the life I have after. I fought so hard for a marriage that was destroying me… truly believing it was the best I would ever have. I wish I could go back and show myself what was waiting… #badrelationship #dvsurvivor #divorcedmom #traumabond #rebuildingmyself

Things my ex husband told me that turned out to be lies. Turns out I could survive without him. In fact, I could thrive. #exhusband #dvsurvivor #divorcedwomen #rebuildingmyself #liesyouweretold

Speak up, report it, and don’t let these people hide in silence. Utilize the missing and exploited children’s network to get CSAM OFF the internet. #csaawareness #csasurvivor #leaks #tocatchapredator #protectourchildren

Being married didn’t make it consensual. Being his wife didn’t mean I asked for it. At some point I just went numb. It was the only way I could survive. The only way I could keep enduring so my children wouldn’t be alone with him. I didn’t see a way out for so long and you can judge it if you must

Here is the bleak reality that DV survivors face. Leaving doesn’t mean our children get to escape. Leaving often places our children in extremely vulnerable positions that has led to disturbing endings. When you repeatedly dog a woman for not leaving sooner you’re ignoring the reality that kept the

Replying to @Brooke The tradwife culture within the US military is such a vastly different world and it’s contributing to women ignoring DV happening to them until it’s so bad they are at risk of being unalived. #dvsurvivor #tradwife #militarywife #badrelationship #relationshipredflags

I do read your comments. And I know my story isn’t one that isn’t open to judgement but it still stings to finally escape and still have people judge you more for how you survived than they have anger for what he did. I’m not a perfect survivor. But no one is. And no one has to be. What we need is

You won’t see it in the carefully selected moments or the public appearances. You won’t see the terror we’ve learned to hide behind fake smiles. You won’t see it in the family photos where we faked the happy family for an hour. You won’t see it unless I decide to let you. He was careful, but he did

You can acknowledge safety concerns without being afraid. Fear didn’t give me courage it just paralyzed me so now I make the conscious choice to not fear, just act. #fearless #dvsurvivor #truecrimetok #redflag #badrelationship

Narcissism was fully present in that court room. There was no genuine emission of shame, just guilt for being caught. #narcissistic #redflag #warningsigns #protectourchildren #truecrimetok

I’m not advocating for vigilante justice or witch hunts. I’m advocating for public pressure on these cases. When we allow these cases to move forward with no public coverage they all too often end with either no jail time or a very light sentence. That isn’t justice. That isn’t protecting communiti
