@ourstrangersstories: I thought leaving would be the thing my daughters never forgave me for. They were waiting for me to do it. children hear more than we think they do. 🤍 #storytime #motherhood #startingover #family #healing
this is why I tell everyone "staying for the kids" is the worst reason to stay. It is a patriarchal belief conditioned into our psyche. you should leave for the kids.

My sister took my 9 year old for ice cream one night and she told her aunt “he chokes my mom and I’m scared for her safety”… I’ve been gone since 2/13/2026.

This is what i would always say, you never stay for kids, it's worse if you stay, but i was always judged for saying that. But ik how it feels, been there, that's why at first sign me and my son left for good. Ppl need to understand that healthy childhood is more important that having both parents.

this reminds me of when my mom asked me what I thought and I told her to leave him and she did, I don't think she would've been able to without that push. he'd put hands on her in front of me many times😮💨 good job mama👏🫶💜
