I am a survivor, a mother, and a truth-teller. For years I endured the hidden realities of domestic abuse, trauma bonds, and the fight to protect my children while rebuilding my own strength. This journal is my place to share the raw truth of what I lived through, not to dwell in the darkness, but to shine a light for others still searching for hope. My story is one of survival, resilience, and transformation — proof that even in the deepest pain, healing is possible and freedom is worth fighting for.
