All moved and settling in. I’m very happy with my loves…my SO and his 7-year-old son. My dog is adjusting but it’s been a little bumpy. Since he witnessed my trauma he’s obsessively protective of me. He’s nipped SO. We’re working on it. I like NC so far.
Still no activity in the rule 37 petition. Oh well.
Very busy being a stay-at-home mom for the time being. I love it. To those of you who are SAHM’s or moms who also work…you’re AMAZING. I’m busier now than when I worked full time!
Love to you all ❤️

Struggling hard. So sorry. I may continue to be scarce until after this weekend when the 5th anniversary is. Love you all so much. Truly.

Today I have court.
This time I am not the victim, but I am speaking for him. I am fostering a dog who has been abused and starved. I am a witness in the case against his owners and hopefully we will convict them of neglect and the dog will not be returned to them. They are fighting to get him back.
It is bringing up a lot. I have not been in court since my trial, which was three years ago (April 2017). Could use sitters and prayers/good vibes that the innocent dog gets justice and will not be returned to his abusers. I think we can all identify with that....

That's so very good of you. I didn't see this till now, but you are doing a wonderful thing.
I've said many times, it's hard for me to fathom somebody who can abuse a dog. They are such wonderful little creatures, because their love for us is so pure and total. To betray that is a horrible violation.
Are you able to share how it went?

I just really don't see the point in living anymore. I'm done.

Dear @Poppy_
I know how terrible it is to be in the middle of that feeling. I also know that when you are in the middle of that darkness, it is hard to see any light.
But I also know, from experience, that every time I have gone through a dark time, it has lifted. It's never been permanent. So I would urge you to know that we're with you and I hope it won't be too long before you feel hope again.
Do you have a therapist or somebody you trust talking to about it?
Wishing you comfort and healing,
Gold Raindrops

All...I am in the midst of working on a shutdown for my school district. Before that, I was sick myself and home for a solid week with a low grade fever and respiratory/flu symptoms. I am better now, but we have no idea what my illness was. I am NOT saying I had COVID-19, but I was sick with something. Not having a diagnosis was scary. I am so sorry I have not been as present as I would like to be lately. It's been one thing after another lately. I am still here for you. I love AS and each of you. I just wanted to let you know what is going on. I am an "essential" employee, so I cannot go home and simply self-quarantine like everyone else. I will still be working, but hopefully, reduced hours. I pray you are all well and healthy, and managing anxiety and stress during this time. Love to you all

Emily Doe...the survivor of Brock Turner, has named herself. Be warned of a flurry of news coverage. I am being tagged in it everywhere, and I can't deal. She named herself for the EXACT same reasons I did. I made the media publish my name because my name is NOT victim, complainant, accuser, or alleged anything. Me asserting, "My name is Amy Stanley!" actually became the title of one piece. Crying in my office at work now after being tagged and reading. I can't take away her pain...and I can't take away mine. Feeling helpless and broken.

Another reason I love our community so much!
Hoping everyone had a good weekend!

Say hello to Salem!

Making my father's cremation and burial at sea plans the last couple of days has been beyond hard. I wanted to help and asked to take this burden from my aunt. My father and other family lives in California and I am in Texas. I can't do much and I hate it. This aunt is his caregiver because of that. It was worse than I thought it would be. I have just been nauseated and sad. I know it's not SA-related although my father was abusive in every other way in my childhood. But I have tried to have a relationship in latter years and I do love him. It's bleeding into everything else. I feel like 36 is too young to lose a parent...and it hurts so much.

Too much pain. Too much sadness. Too much heartbreak. Too much everything.

Kavanaugh this, Kavanaugh that. I am so tired. I feel horrible, just like I did when Trump was elected. This has really, really affected me, like it has a lot of survivors. I wasn't really expecting that. People around me support him. I think some are so blind to politics that they can't even consider that Dr. Ford is telling the truth. I am frustrated, sad, nauseated, discouraged, angry, and isolated. I was in the grocery store after work yesterday and I felt myself losing control over the littlest things. I went home and tried to do some self-care. I am trying to stay away from it today but that is not easy.

@MzKeys75 @Iheartcupcakes @DamagedButNotBroken
OMG, yes, I have had a hard time with this, too. I got into an argument with someone at my church - I could feel myself getting charged about it and emotional, which I should know better than to do. Not very many people know about my experience, and I didn't want it to be like I wasn't objective, but it is so painful to me that so many people don't care about serious SA claims.
On a happy note, the moment when the survivors confronted Senator Flake in the elevator was amazing. They're so brave. I wanted to cry.
