					<description><![CDATA[<p>Loves, I&#8217;m so grateful for the women who were willing to share their stories in 2025.

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.

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&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://lealove.com/mom/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Mom &#8211; Port Coquitlam, B.C.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>*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&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://lealove.com/mom-abbotsford-b-c/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Mom &#8211; Abbotsford, B.C.</span></a></p>

My X cut off all food and money, and went so far as to even cut off his own child’s diaper service.

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.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>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.
