‼️Trigger Warning‼️
Let that sink in for a moment…
“I realized I was afraid of being alone than being abused.”

‼️‼️⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING‼️‼️⚠️

Abusers also hold the victim responsible for their vile behavior. I watched his older interview on TMZ where he was asked about Hayden’s book and her disclosing the abuse. He said he did it - he was smiling…

In fact, it probably means you are still dealing with the trauma in your body. The good news is that this doesn't have to be where you stay for the rest of your life.

Yes. Our abusers teach us to be self-critical so that we have no energy left to criticize them. Learning to turn off our inner critic is a difficult task. It can start by learning to care for ourselves like we would any one else we love. https://carolineabbott.com/journey-to-healing/

🚨 TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic Violence / System Failure / Trauma

"I DID EVERYTHING THEY TOLD ME TO DO."

I spoke up.

I reported it.

I asked for help.

I got the protective order.
I called the police.
I provided evidence.
I told the truth.

And still...

I was ignored.

One survivor said an officer turned off his body camera and never documented what happened.

Another asked for protection and lost her children instead.

Another spent 18 years surviving abuse only to discover she would have to fight the system too.

Another believed she was going to die.

And another escaped a relationship that moved so fast she didn't realize she was trapped until everything—her money, her freedom, and her sense of safety—was already gone.

That's the part people don't always talk about.

Sometimes finding the courage to speak is only the beginning of the battle.

And sometimes the silence survivors are breaking isn't just about the abuse...

It's about what happened after they asked for help.

Imagine going to jail for trying to keep your child safe. 😳

Across the country, more “protective mothers” are being criminalized after reporting abuse or refusing to hand their kids back to an abusive ex. Instead of being believed, they can end up labeled as “uncooperative,” accused of parental interference, and punished—while the abuser uses courts, custody battles, and even professionals to keep the control going.

It’s a terrifying double bind: protect your child and risk losing them (or your freedom), or comply and live with the fear of what could happen. 💜

What do you think needs to change—family courts, law enforcement training, custody laws, or something else? Drop your thoughts below, and if this matters to you, share it so more people realize this is happening. 📣
