@realwifelife @TheBirdsPapaya Same! I starved myself and ran everyday.

@TheBirdsPapaya Same…. At my thinnest (also in the depths of bulimia) the amount of compliments I got was astounding. Little did anyone know in order for my body to maintain that I was working out everyday and purging every single thing I ate

I liked being thinner bc clothes fit me perfectly. I liked being thinner bc men paid me more attention. I liked being thinner bc people liked that I was thinner and congratulated me often for it. Everything I liked about being thinner had really nothing to do with my actual body

@RWatson_insight Thank you. Your messages mean so much to me. You are so strong. ❤️🙏🏻 I will definitely check your blog.

@Foxyheadwraps By not reacting to it all but strategically responding to it, if you can and sometimes that means no response at all. Cutting the emotional connection, thinking, what does the judge want to see, where are my opportunities to show that. Some info in my blogs might help x

Family court judges routinely order victims to pay half of the reunification/therapy/contact costs that occur due to an abuser's behaviour. Separated parents are viewed as 'in it together' - a family in need of repair. This practice is unfair, harmful & archaic. #FamilyCourt

@RWatson_insight ❤️ I am currently going through this. I have no idea how to mentally proceed. I don’t know how to proceed with dishonesty and harassment. Legally and personally.

@Foxyheadwraps With difficulty when court-ordered. Judges want to see parents making effort to repair relationships so kids have a meaningful relationship with both parents. Not easy when one is abusive. Engage, dont try to fight system while in the system. Go with child wishes I believe.

@custodypeace @onemomsbattle Serves motions without changes.6 years ongoing.Demands access only to cancel it.After a court order is made.Temporary orders made,only to be unfollowed by the abusive parent. Financially destroying the primary caregiver Mental health.Years of litigation and nothing has changed

@forlittlekeira A process where all important details of full concern are dismissed, or ignored in court. The tunnel vision of the same answers in family legal matters needs change! 🙏🏻 #thesystemneedsdrasticchanges

“The priority given to contact over safety means courts are motivated to disbelieve allegations of abuse or ignore or excuse them even when the evidence is substantial” 2/2

“Family courts have been overwhelmed by a pro-contact culture that leads them to believe it is in the child’s best interest to maintain contact with a father even if he has been abusive towards a child…” 1/2

@forlittlekeira @nnnnnnxo I think of your story daily. My prayers are with you and your family.

@nnnnnnxo Thank you. I personally do not believe Keira is in a better place but I truly appreciate the kind words and I’m sorry if this is upsetting for people to read, it’s just my personal view about an afterlife.

Keira fades further every day, it is unbearable. Memories fade.Keira was an incredible, vibrant child. I wasn’t allowed to protect Keira in life so what is left? I will create a legacy for you Keira.Your story isn’t over yet. There has to be a good ending. I won’t allow otherwise
