I Survived the Abuse… But My Mind Is Still Suffering 😭💔

I never imagined I’d be at a point in my life where I’d need medication just to help me feel like myself again. 😭💔 After years of abuse, I’m still struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and postpartum depression. My mind constantly expects something bad to happen, even when there’s no danger around me.

I Had to Call the Police Just to Get Away From My Ex 💔

I was literally trying to take him home after an argument. Instead, he forced me out of my own driver’s seat, ran my car out of gas, and attacked me when I returned from the gas station. There was a time when situations like this were part of my reality. Now I’m rebuilding my life, finding my pe

The Abuse Ended, But I’m Still Healing 💔

One thing I’m learning is that leaving an abusive relationship doesn’t mean everything suddenly goes back to normal. I still struggle with overthinking, getting overwhelmed, and being way too hard on myself. But I’m working on it. I’m going to therapy, raising my four babies, and doing my bes

The side of him nobody else saw 💔

It’s a different kind of hurt when everybody thinks somebody is such a good person, but you know what happens behind closed doors. Healing from that is something else. 🥺 #healingjourney #embracingvulnerability #momsoftiktok #storytime📖

The Things I Survived for 5 Years… 💔

There was a time when my life looked completely different behind closed doors. I was raising my children, trying to keep everything together, and surviving things nobody should ever have to experience. Leaving was one chapter. Learning how to feel like myself again has been another. I’m shari

I Couldn’t Even Be QUIET Around My Abusive Ex 😭

One thing about being in an abusive relationship is that sometimes you don’t even have to argue for things to turn ugly. I remember a time when I was literally walking around my own house being quiet, and somehow THAT became a problem. Looking back, I can’t believe what I had gotten used to. 🤎

The Things That Happened Behind Closed Doors… 😳

I swear every time I share another story from that relationship, I realize just how much chaos I had gotten used to. 😮‍💨 There were things happening in my own home that nobody on the outside would’ve ever imagined.

The AUDACITY This Man Had Was Actually INSANE 😭

Since Y’all Wanna Know ALL My Business So Bad… 😭😂

Apparently some of y’all have been doing investigations into my personal life, so I figured I’d clear everything up tonight. 😭😂 And while we’re at it… we need to discuss why some people are more bothered by me TALKING about what I survived than the fact that I actually survived it. #healingjour

The night my ex busted through my back door 😳

I locked him out because he was being abusive. While I was sitting in bed thinking he was still outside, I looked up and saw him walking through my house. Telling these stories out loud makes me realize just how much I survived. #embracingvulnerability #unfiltered #momsoflemon8 #healingjo

THIS Is The Part People Don’t Understand… 😮‍💨

People hear about the worst moments and wonder why you didn’t just leave. What they don’t see are all the moments in between…the apologies, affection, promises and days that make you believe maybe things really will be different this time. Looking back, I understand that cycle so much differently n

Yes… I’m Trying Not To Cry In This Video. 😔🤎

You can probably hear it in my voice before I even say it. I’m tired. Mentally and emotionally, I just haven’t been in the best place lately. I almost didn’t pick up my camera tonight, but I did. I don’t have everything figured out…I’m just trying not to lose myself in this season. And tonight, try

He Hit Me While I Was Driving… And Grabbed the Wheel

There are so many moments from that relationship that still make me sit back and think, wow… I really survived that. I don’t even remember what started the argument that day, but I remember trying to take him home, him getting angry, hitting me while I was driving, and grabbing the steering wheel.

I Caught Him Cheating… Then Everything Got Worse

For years, I was made to feel like speaking up about what was hurting me meant I was “complaining too much” or always starting arguments. Looking back now, I realize I was simply asking to be treated with respect. Healing after that kind of relationship takes time, but I’m grateful I got out and ge

Why Did I Stay With Him For 5 Years?

Somebody asked why people stay so long in relationships where they’re being disrespected, and I can only answer from my own experience. I left more times than I can count. The difficult part was breaking the cycle, seeing the manipulation for what it was, and finally making one of those times the L

I Was Breaking Down… And Still Protected Him

One of the hardest things to explain is how someone can hurt you, watch you completely break down, and somehow still convince you to protect them from the consequences. Looking back now, I can see just how deep the manipulation really was. #healingjourney #momsoftiktok #storytime #momlif

I Left… Then Realized I Didn’t Know Myself Anymore 😩

Nobody really prepared me for the identity part of starting over. When you’ve spent years in survival mode, suddenly having the freedom to ask “What do I like? What do I want?” feels completely different. I’m still figuring out the answers…and I think that’s becoming one of my favorite parts. 🤎
