It’s incredibly hard to keep writing through the weight of sadness, loneliness, and depression. Every word feels like a battle against the darkness that so many parents and children endure every single day. And every week, the heartbreak grows heavier when I hear about another parent or child who takes their own life, overwhelmed by the hopelessness inflicted by psychological abuse and systemic failure.
But then I ask myself—what’s more important than this fight? Child psychological abuse is not just a family issue; it’s a societal epidemic, and it must stop. The question is not whether it will end, but how. Will we finally recognize this as the child abuse that it is, holding perpetrators and enablers accountable? Or will the unrelenting anguish drive desperate parents to tragic and irreversible actions, forcing attention on the corrupt and tyrannical systems that perpetuate this suffering?
This isn’t just about me or my daughters anymore—it’s about every family caught in this cruel web of manipulation and systemic indifference. And while the weight is heavy, I know that telling this story is the only way to shine a light on the injustice and to demand the change that so many children and parents desperately need.
