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

@TheEyeOfBalor thank you for the encouragement! It's not always an easy thing to do, but we have to stop pretending this kind of stuff doesn't happen.
@Oma_Trisha @TheEyeOfBalor Very brave of you. The stigma is better but still has a long way to go. Blessed be.
@VenomousHeroine @TheEyeOfBalor
Thank you. The best way to get rid of the stigma is to stop avoiding the discussion. By normalizing it we decrease the senseiven mystery surrounding it, which makes it less deniable.

What the fuck is that word??????
Sense of mystery, I think.....
I don't remember using my vape pen. Why am I talking like I'm stoned? 🤣🤣🤣
