Domestic Violence Awareness Month

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This post includes details about physical and mental abuse.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜

This one is hard for me to write. Silence is how abuse keeps winning. I grew up in a violent home.

My dad was mentally and physically abusive. That was to me, my mom, and my brother. We believe he may have been a narcissist and possibly undiagnosed bipolar, but honestly… it’s hard to remember a lot. Sometimes, I don’t want to. I’ve seen him break things in my room just to prove control. I’ve heard words no one should ever be called. He’s hit me, my mom, our dog and even my handicapped brother. The first time I truly thought I was going to die was because of him. And yet, every time, I would step in and try to protect my mom and brother. That’s what happens in abuse. You become so used to surviving that you forget what peace feels like. The lasting effects of growing up in that kind of fear…

I don’t think there are words for it. But I do know this: You are not broken for needing healing.

And if you’re still in it, or still trying to understand it I see you. 💜

You are not crazy.

You are not too sensitive.

You’re a person who’s had to stay soft in a world that wasn’t safe.

Please don’t suffer in silence. If you or someone you love needs help, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is here:

1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

💬 I know it’s not easy to talk about this. If you’ve ever needed to protect yourself or someone you love from someone who’s supposed to love you… please know you’re not alone.

Save this for the days you need it, and send it to someone who could use a little hope. 🕯️

The military calls it “not enough evidence.” But the bruises, the threats, the fear—those were evidence enough for me. This video shows what “not enough” looks like. React. Share. Comment. Let them see we’re watching. Silence is how they get away with it. Awareness is how we stop them. #dome

It’s hard, I know it’s hard but you have to get out while you still can. I put up with it for 2 1/2 years too long and if I stayed any longer he would have killed me. You can get out. Make a plan, if you don’t have one and need advice, reach out to me. I’m always here. ❤️ #domesticabuseawareness

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Domestic violence isn’t just physical. It’s emotional abuse. It’s threats. It’s punching holes in the wall to scare you. It’s isolating you from friends and family. It’s blocking you in a closet It’s a g💔N pointed at you. It’s “I’ll ki// myself

“If a man has a little fight with the wife they’ll call it a crime.” He laughs. The crowd cheers. But those of us who’ve lived it know—there’s nothing little about bruises, terror, or children crying in the dark. My abuser got the minimum sentence. And men like him still get applause. Don’t cal

A woman with long blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a purple shirt, smiles at the camera. Text overlay reads "Domestic Violence Prevention," highlighting the article's theme.

A dark purple graphic explains that domestic violence includes non-physical abuse like degradation, humiliation, and control. The text "THIS IS NARCISSISTIC ABUSE" is highlighted.

Mentally, emotionally, verbally, and physically. But I survived, and I am now free. If you’re currently in a situation l

I don’t usually talk about this part of my story.. partly out of fear, partly out of exhaustion. I have experienced abuse in my past. Not with bruises or broken bones, but in every other way possible. The kind of abuse that doesn’t leave marks you can see, just the kind that changes who you are.

An infographic titled "NARCISSISTIC ABUSE AWARENESS DAY" by Samantha Bachota Coaching. It highlights that narcissistic abuse is often covert, underreported, and about control, leading to trauma bonds and long-term emotional effects. It emphasizes that abuse without bruises is still abuse and healing is possible with awareness.
