Welcome. You made it.

This isn’t a self-help blog. This is a flashlight in the basement.
This is for the ones who were told to calm down, be quiet, stop crying, stop asking, stop feeling.
This is for the ones who were told “it wasn’t that bad.”
The ones who got so good at pretending it was fine… they forgot it wasn’t.

This space isn’t here to heal you.
It’s here to witness you.

(scroll below intro for blogs)

Your stories aren’t too dark.
Your memories aren’t too foggy.
Your feelings aren’t too much.

This is the corner of the internet where you can finally say,

“It hurt, even if nobody saw it.”
“I’m still carrying it.”
“I don’t want to pretend anymore.”

Here’s what we’re doing in this space:

– We tell the truth. Messy, raw, not always tied with a bow.
– We name the abuse. Even when it was quiet. Even when he smiled.
– We reparent ourselves. Not with perfection. With kindness and clarity.
– We break it down. With trauma science, with Lundy Bancroft, with real language that helps you feel like you’re not crazy.
– We laugh where we can. Because survival has a punchline.
– We write for the ones still inside it. Because if that’s you—you’re not alone.
– We molt in public. Because sometimes healing isn’t rising—it’s falling apart in sacred company.

You’ll find true stories here.
Names changed. Details real.
The kind of stuff we were never supposed to talk about.

You’ll also find:

– Rituals to let it out
– Letters to the ones we used to be
– Abuse pattern breakdowns
– Nervous system compassion
– Notes from the edge of grief, shame, and rage
– Gentle truths for people who feel like they’re too much

You’re not too much. You’re exactly the size of your story. And it belongs here.

So take a deep breath. Unbutton your ribs. You don’t have to hold it in anymore.

We’re going to talk about it.

And when you’re ready…You can talk about it too.
