  • Why Do We Stay? Pt. 3

    E molded me into a submissive slave. He taught me early on, in the friendship stage, not to argue with him. If I, or anyone for that matter, had a differing opinion, or dared to tell him he was wrong about something, he would come back with ‘It’s because I’m a man, isn’t it?!’, or…

  • Why Do We Stay? Pt.2

    I was never sexually attracted to E, something he was aware of because he seemed to be very attracted to me. E needed to remedy that, so that he could feel like I wanted him. His method was to shame me. It started with shaming me for having adult toys. He did such a good…

  • Why Do We Stay?

    This series takes a lot out of me, which is why I haven’t been consistent. Part of me just wanted to move on from it, but then I kept hearing people talk about the Sean Combs trial. People, like Bill Maher seem to think leaving an abusive situation is easy. As easy as calling the…

  • The Other Side

    Mending my relationships was difficult. I’d been hurting my family for so long, and I had no idea how to tell them why this time was different. I felt ashamed for allowing E to control me, ashamed for the abuse I suffered at his hands, ashamed that I didn’t talk to them, didn’t share with…

  • Are You Triggered?

    When my late husband was killed by a drunk driver, life didn’t give me trigger warnings. I still saw car accidents on the news, in the paper, and while driving. When I was raped, life didn’t offer me trigger warnings. I still read about rape, still heard about it, it was still around me. Needless…

  • Lies We Tell Ourselves

    Not too long ago I was talking to a loved one, and they were talking about how they don’t want to complain about being raped, because it wasn’t violent. They had no broken bones, no bruises. I’ve been there, feeling ashamed, feeling guilty that others were raped and left physically broken, while I was only…

  • You’re So Fake

    Fake Christians are probably the people I despise the most. They make it near-impossible to bring people to Christ, because so many people have come across a fake Christian, and it’s left a nasty taste in their mouth. I can’t say that I blame them. Christians are supposed to be Christ-like. We have all seen…
