sorry im not on my profile, my real user name is Darkfaeire
Thanks for this video. I am a survivor of child abuse which I know is different but i just wanted to highlight your use of the word ’survivor’. For too long I’ve thought of myself as a ‘victim’. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing your story sending you big hugs. What you said made me feel like im not alone anymore and that it didnt just happen to me.

Thanks for sharing your story. xx
Domestic Violence or intimate partner violence, is different than most assaults because of the power issue, and yes, the trust and intimacy that existed, and quite often it being a part of an unhealthy cycle between 2 individuals.
so what makes it “domestic violence” instead of just “violence” (one person punching another)? is it just because you used to date her, or the way it affected you? I wonder since you made it clear it didn’t continue
strength is just one of the most honourable qualities humans possed you darling have a great deal of strength
Even one time is one time too many. I think it’s awesome that you were able to work through what happened and give back to other women by participating in the VMonologues. Bug Hugs!! Heavy is good – friends go through heavy and light times together
You are such a super awesome fantastic person. <3
