Hold My Halo and Pass the Wine

Recovering from Psychological Abuse

About

My Vision and Purpose for This Site

I have often thought about sharing my experience for many reasons. The obvious is for therapeutic reasons only an abuse survivor can understand. The second is more of a pay-it-forward view: I have healed and found support through others sharing their stories, so I hope my story may do the same for someone else.

About Me

First, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to those who have taken the time to read my very notice writings. I also want to thank my family and closest friends who have supported me over the past several years. I hope they realize the importance of their role in my healing. I would not be where I am today if it was not for all of you.

The urge to share my story as a single-mother recovering from psychological abuse, domestic violence, and still navigating through the family court system while dealing with post-separation abuse has actively grown over the past three years. I began sharing my story and experiences back in 2020, but due to continued abuse, I was silenced again for a short time.

While I refuse to allow abusers to silence their victims, names and details of the individuals involved in my journey have been changed for anonymity purposes. This site is for mature audiences as some topics discussed and shared on this site may be triggering for some. Please take care to observe how you are feeling as you read through these events.
