    I’ve been in two abusive relationships. The first was a boyfriend in HS. He only hit me once. The 2nd was in college. He tried to choke me & I went ham and almost got arrested for beating on him. WTF.

    The community can and does not have anything to do. A woman knowingly gets involved with a violent man, has a child with him and... history repeats itself in an eternal recurrence.

    I do not understand why CYS wasn’t called for the kids or when he fired gun in moving car with the children in the car- that’s child endangerment!!! The judges & police need to have mandatory training on domestic violence!! Amy is not the only victim here… each & every one of us! How do any of us feel safe? My God the first judge that gave him time served after violating PFA . That judge could have changed this from the beginning with appropriate accountability!

    Just look at comments on social media! Many actually still ask "Why did you take so long to tell?" "You just want a min of fame/a payday..." -- they DO NOT get that control is real and bc of their mommy issues, kids like Amy's don't have a mommy.

    I'm so sorry for this poor woman, what she went through... it's so tragic. And, these stories need to be told, to help others out there going through these things, so they can get out, they can see what their future holds.... Sadly... If they stay! I wish my story could be heard. But over the last 2 years of contacting every organization I could possibly think of, and researched... Including reaching out to Mariska, I've just been shown time and again... My story, my voice, my survival... isn't important. After being ignored, gaslit and lied to for years, I've now given up ever having the ability to share the nightmare I survived, from just the innocent age of 2, the story of the amazingly smart, strong and brave child that survived what my therapist referrers to as "absolute living hell" and "a war for survival that no child should ever have to endure, and no adult would be able to handle" doesn't matter, and she'll remain trapped in silence forever. Yeah, I have a KZread channel where I hope to share my story and help other abuse victims and survivors... But, most of my subscribers are there for my "shorts" which are less than a minute quotes from other people. No one is there for the real purpose, which was to finally get to share my story, be heard AND help others... sadly. Not that it matters, but if anyone cares, the beginning of my story is in my playlist, under "My True Story" ... I stopped telling it after 3, maybe 4 videos, because no one is interested in anything over a minute long, or maybe that's just my misfortune. My story can't be told in a "short" video of a minute or less, there's years of horrific and detailed trauma, but it's just what it is. I know I'm invisible.... I know, I'll never be heard... But, I'm still fighting for the right to be heard, for the strong little girl that fought daily to survive, that still suffers inside me, to get to share her story of amazing survival.... I can't let her down, like every other person in our life has ... I know this will probably be deleted and no one will even see this. Especially not Mariska... Which would mean the world to me, if she would see me, hear me, share my voice, my story... Anyone for that matter, would make my dream come true, to allow the innocent and terrified child inside me, get to share her story of how she not only survived, but also outsmarted her abusers, to stay alive and how now, she made it so I'm here today, although all I'm doing is letting her down, because I can't find someone to care... I know I said that above too, but it's so critically important to me... to her. But, if you happen to go check out my true story in my playlist, please leave me a message, so I know SOMEONE cared enough to hear me... I really wish I could help others, and be heard too. I really wish I mattered. I honestly don't. I know this. It's been proven to me, my whole meaningless life. Be blessed everyone. ❤

    I was so lucky, a close friend and family member LISTENED, they never once told me to leave, as I told them not to tell me that, just to listen and they did. They allowed me to take my time BUT I was so lucky that someone reported him to police. I was so conflicted to the point of wanting to unlive myself. The police arrested him based on one piece of evidence i gave. I had a go at the police officer believe it or not, within an hour I got a lightning bolt of clarity, NOW, go now. I then thanked the police when they called me next. 6 people potentially saved my life

    So many people have stories, I remember after one violent night, him being transported to the police station and me at his mother's home. We stayed up all night discussing how he needed to be held, if not at a police station-be held in a mentally ill ward. Sitting in the morning light of his mother's kitchen she noticed that all over my face were not just the new bruises but old yellow and greenish bruising. She was horrified and was on board having him held. Yet by the end of that day she had changed her tune and felt she could not allow her boy to be held. This is what the 1980's were like.

    This documentary is about Amy R.I.P & domestic abuse. IF / BEFORE people comment on this post - this is JUST A QUESTION. VIOLENCE DOES NOT solve anything. Regarding the man who slammed his partner's head into the dresser so she listens to him & doesn't answer back - would he feel different about it if it was his head?. As he said "there are no consequences for his actions". As stated by the hosts men are abused as well but not as much as women. But men don't speak out about the issue as much due to pride as it would have never happened in the past. And there are fewer services & shelters for men. It was a good documentary for people in general like yhe co-workers who knew what was happening but didn't know how to help. Children who suffer abuse (& sometimes feel its their fault) because they don't know any different often end up been abusive themselves. What the husband got away with is beyond belief. Despite his history - he even got his guns back. To Amy's family, friends & co-workers who made this tribute & documentary - thank you - it must have been so hard. Hopefully it will help one person somewhere in the world today. In our country thankfully the law about abuse within a marriage has been recognised & cases are going to court. R.I.P. Amy. 🙏🕯️to everyone suffering abuse.

    This is gonna sound stupid but the statistics regarding homicide involving corollary victims are 20%,37%, and higher. Depending on where you are, every country sees abuse and their victims differently. It's disturbing. But, would I interfere? Involving children? Yes. 100%. 2 adults, the victim being one? No. I can't fight a man or the woman who may stick up for him, with words. The only way I could interfere is with a call to police. This story tells you how this turns out. But I would try my best until that victim knew someone thought she mattered. I was a abuse victim with 3 children. I would tell bystanders to, go please, because he would attack them and then me. He stabbed a man, who survived, and it was thrown out. It was thrown out because of the letter I wrote. Now, that I'm strong and free, I regret the what ifs. What if I didn't listen to his threats and walked out without writing that letter? What if I had left my sons behind because he wouldn't let me have them until I wrote that letter? All you can do is listen. And act. Have a safe exit. And never ever go back for your stuff or your kids stuff alone. I had a counselor who was like a pit bull who wouldn't let go until I had backup. I had her and a cop... the cop was too weary. He didn't go up with us. My safe exit was made the day of and people I barely knew had my back. I hope this helps, even if it's a tad rough around the edges. Maybe one day I'll upload the full story.

    My oldest boys remember me being abused, crying. They are very protective now that they’re older. I remember wondering why no one believed me. I had black eyes, I was bruised everywhere. 10 years later, many people came out to say he told people I was “abusing him in many ways. That’s why I didn’t like going around others” I finally told my story. It had a lot of support, and I didn’t realize I was experiencing CPTSD since I was 15. I’m 33 this year. I have yet to find peace with myself or anyone else.

    If I didn't stay in the situation then I wouldn't have gotten abused. I didn't realize my ex had been telling his family I was the abusive one till I over heard him telling his dad. He attacked his own mother and I tried to pull him off her. Through all the lies and abuse I finally left. He ended up over dosing later on.

    I'd like to share my experience with child abuse and sexual abuse. As a 2 year old, my father's sister was living with our family. My Adult Aunt would take on the duties of bathing my older sisters, me and younger brother . After our baths my Aunt would perform sexual acts acts on us. It wasn't until my mid 50's that my sister and I were sharing our childhood that I remembered a deep seeded memory of the abuse of my Aunt and how badly the physical pain I was experiencing at that age. Also when I was in High School, I noticed how sexually aggressive most of the girls were. I was shy and found it difficult to be social. After high school, I married my sweetheart whom I was so in love with. After 3 years of marriage, I discovered my spouse was having affairs. I put up with this for 7 year. After being married for just over 11 years, I agreed to a divorce. We had 2 children. The oldest was born 10 months after our marriage. My Son was born 7 years later. I was the Husband of this marriage. At the time my wife got pregnant with my son, while she was having a 7 year affair with my best friend. To this day I don't knoe if he's gentically mine. I sought divorce from my wife in 1980. I've dated many women over the years since 1980. Everyone of them have extra men on the side. I know a large amount of married couples and the wife's have had affairs or are actively involved in affairs. I don't say anything to the couples because I don't want to be the bad guy. It's sad that the public only hears and accepts Men as the nonloyal side of a relationship. Just a MAN'S life experience.

    A close family member of mine works for the hotline. The member took psychology classes and the college arranged this job for the member. The member has commented in my presence while laughing; “ noone will believe I am the abuser when I work for an abuse hotline “. It seems to me that “ mentally aggressive “ people are choosing fields like; psychology, animal care, law enforcement, and counseling etc, to help them stay off the radar. We have to be extremely careful now as to whom we confide in. If you call a hotline and a college kid or graduate answers that secretly approves of abuse they are going to make things worse. We need seasoned people with thorough background checks on the abuse hotline, suicide hotline, and veteran hotline. Get references from family members, neighbors, and or peers.
