Loves, I’m so grateful for the women who were willing to share their stories in 2025. The level of vulnerability, truth-telling and raw, unedited interviews left me feeling in awe of their power. These authentic stories revealed financial abuse, addiction, child abuse, money theft, physical abuse, sexual assault, cheating, emotional and psychological abuse, survival, sex… Continue reading Thank You

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? Bill came into our lives when I was four. He was the next-door neighbor. It started when he told me – do these things with me so they won’t happen to your little sister. First, he asked me to touch him. As I got older it evolved into oral… Continue reading Women – Chilliwack, B.C.

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? How could I have learned so much in my life and made such a huge mistake? For me as a queer person who came out later in life, I think it’s really important to share this story. I had my first same-sex relationship after coming out and leaving my… Continue reading Mom – Canada

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? Everything that happened in my childhood repeated in my relationship – sexual abuse, neglect, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and violence. So, when I was so young having my first child and living in a house like that, everybody talks about red flags, but I didn’t see any because there… Continue reading Mom – Port Coquitlam, B.C. Canada

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? It all started with my father. He was very volatile. I was so scared of him. You never knew what was going to set him off. For example, one day I could come home after school and make myself a snack, and that would be perfectly fine, but on… Continue reading Mom – Abbotsford, B.C.

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause: What happened? I knew this guy since I was ten years old. He was a family friend. I was head over heels for him. I was seventeen when we started dating. I was still in high school. He was twenty-four. From the beginning it was red flag after red flag. He was… Continue reading Mom – Fraser Valley B.C. Canada

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause -What happened? I met my ex-girlfriend on a dance floor. She was a French woman here in Canada on a work visa. There were phone calls and dinners and she told me her life story as a struggling single mom with three kids, an empty apartment and an empty fridge. I felt… Continue reading Women – Fraser Valley, B.C. Canada

*TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? Me and my ex were together for over three years. When we got together, we were both addicts. We fed off each others pain and lived in a very negative mind set. I got pregnant a year into us being together. He was really sweet to me in the… Continue reading Mom – Chilliwack, British Columbia Canada

  *TRIGGER WARNING* Cause – What happened? I moved to a city that was new to me. I had friends, but I didn’t see them as frequently as I would have liked. I was lonely. When I went to an online dating site, I met a man  and began a relationship with him. I ended… Continue reading Mom – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Hello Loves, The harassment and threats did not stop when I left my X. They only intensified. My daughter and I stayed with friends while I sorted out my next steps. My X cut off all food and money, and went so far as to even cut off his own child’s diaper service. He thought… Continue reading Harrasment and Threats

Hello Loves, My X was mean to his animals. He had two horses that mostly hung out and grazed in the pasture. He gave them the minimum amount of attention to not be considered neglectful. He moved their tether around so they had field grass to eat and water to drink. But they were always… Continue reading Animal Cruelty

Hello Loves, My X physically abused me and my child. This is a really hard part of my life to contend with, aside from the fact that it happened, and this is why – my mind rationalizes that we don’t qualify for being physically abused. That it wasn’t quite physical enough. There were no visible… Continue reading Physical Abuse
