I share details of my violent childhood & 1st marriage because not talking about it contributes to the stigma surrounding DV. Discussion increases awareness, which helps create an environment safer for those of us who are victims and/or survivors. Ignoring something by not talking about it only perpetuates the problem. My story may give someone else the courage to leave a bad situation & live a better life . I refuse to be ashamed of who I am or what I have endured & overcome. #IAmASurvivor
@Oma_Trisha grateful for your strength and compassion in helping others but so sorry that happened to you regardless ❤️
@Oma_Trisha @Astro_yyz Glad you have the courage and wisdom to face the hurts that were inflicted on you
You are indeed a stellar person
Blessings to you in every step
@raouf @Astro_yyz Thank you.
@Astro_yyz Thank you. Nobody deserves to be treated like a sex toy or punching bag. We need to normalize talking about DV/SA so people aren't ashamed to speak up.
