DV is a tragedy. This is well written, a very good depiction of the stories of women out there.

this really hits close to home for me. it hits deep and truly shows how abuse can run thru generations unless someone breaks the cycle/takes accountability. i love the writing. it powerfully depicts how men being abusive is often overlooked in sum environment. kudos to u for writing this. 🥹

Thank you so much 🥹 Your words mean the world to me. I wrote this from a deep, painful place and knowing that it connected with you in this way makes me feel less alone too. We have to keep telling these stories until silence is no longer a survival tactic. Sending you love and strength 🖤
