Looking back at some of these stories, I genuinely cannot believe this was my real life. 😭 There were so many things happening behind my back that I didn't find out about until later. And baby, when I finally started putting the pieces together?! Whewww. #healingjourney #momsoflemon8 #

Since Y’all Wanna Know ALL My Business So Bad… 😭😂

Apparently some of y’all have been doing investigations into my personal life, so I figured I’d clear everything up tonight. 😭😂 And while we’re at it… we need to discuss why some people are more bothered by me TALKING about what I survived than the fact that I actually survived it. #healingjour

The night my ex busted through my back door 😳

I locked him out because he was being abusive. While I was sitting in bed thinking he was still outside, I looked up and saw him walking through my house. Telling these stories out loud makes me realize just how much I survived. #embracingvulnerability #unfiltered #momsoflemon8 #healingjo

THIS Is The Part People Don’t Understand… 😮‍💨

People hear about the worst moments and wonder why you didn’t just leave. What they don’t see are all the moments in between…the apologies, affection, promises and days that make you believe maybe things really will be different this time. Looking back, I understand that cycle so much differently n

Yes… I’m Trying Not To Cry In This Video. 😔🤎

You can probably hear it in my voice before I even say it. I’m tired. Mentally and emotionally, I just haven’t been in the best place lately. I almost didn’t pick up my camera tonight, but I did. I don’t have everything figured out…I’m just trying not to lose myself in this season. And tonight, try

I Disappeared For 3 Days… Here’s Why 🤎

I haven’t posted in a few days because mentally, I needed a break. And instead of beating myself up about everything I didn’t get done, I’m learning to meet myself where I am.

The Problem Wasn’t Me Catching Him… It Was What I Did AFTER 👀

Looking back, I understand this pattern completely differently than I did while I was actually living through it. And some of the things he used to say to convince me I was wrong? Baby… absolutely NOT today. 😭🤎 #embracevulnerability #healingjourney #momsoflemon8

That Was The Day I Finally Defended Myself…

I’ve mentioned pieces of this story before, but never really talked about the moment everything went this far. Looking back now, it’s crazy remembering what I had started considering “normal.” #embracingvulnerability #healingjourney #momsoflemon8 #momlife

The SWITCH-UP When The Police Got There?! 😭

I swear every time I tell one story, another memory unlocks. 😭 This particular switch-up was so ridiculous that even looking back now I’m like… be so serious. 😂 #embracingvulnerability #healingjourney #storyofmylife #momsoftiktok

I Don’t Feel Like My Brain Works The Same Anymore…

This has been one of the most frustrating things for me lately because I genuinely WANT to be productive and consistent. I’m finally realizing that instead of constantly getting mad at myself, maybe I need to understand what’s actually going on. 🤎 #embracevulnerability #healingjourney #mom

Late Night Kitchen Reset 🫧✨

I Thought I Was Just “Keeping the Peace”…

There were so many little rules I learned to follow without anybody ever having to write them down. Looking back now, that was actually insane. 😭 #healingjourney #embracevulnerability #momsoftiktok #momlife

“Why Do You Keep Telling Your Business?” 👀

“You Picked Him”… But I Didn’t Pick The Abuse

Every time I share part of my story, somebody wants to know what I did, remind me that I chose him, or say there are two sides. I’ve never claimed to have been perfect. I argued, got angry, and eventually defended myself too. But none of that made me responsible for another person choosing violence

I Didn’t Realize How Much I Had Normalized

One of the hardest things I’ve had to understand after leaving was how normal the chaos had started to feel. Things that should’ve terrified me eventually became just another bad day in the relationship. Now I’m learning what life feels like without constantly waiting for the next blowup…and I’d ch
