I hope men learn to take abusive and coercive behaviors more seriously! You have the right to say no, the right to have boundaries, and if a woman is persistent on breaking them it shouldn't be something they get away with because they are a woman!

I just hope more men recognize that they can also be the victims in these stories

If you keep saying no and she doesn’t care, it’s assault if not rape!

their voice matters the most to me, i always want them to feel safe around me. sucks the court wants to give her custody “cause she’s their mother and it’s important that children are with their parents” … my argument, 5+ years later, still continues of how is it helpful when it’s obvious she’s creating more harm, it’s just retraumatizing them all over again & again.

that means so much. there’s nothing i wouldn’t do for them (as long it’s legal, sure i’ll sneak them alcohol at 18). but tbh i raised them, she’s the one who carried & birth them. but when it came to the feedings, diaper changes, birthday party planning, homework assistance, doing all the parent responsibilities & support, teaching them to use their manners, therapy, medications, talk to doctors, treatment, going to do fun things, putting them in sports against her wishes.. ya girl did it

i just want them to be happy& live the life that they deserve to live. they’re my best friends& they’ll always be my best friends. i will continue to support them in whatever they’re happy with (as long as they’re not harming themselves & others). they’re always happy & well-behaved with me. granted they have their moments, but when they do, we sit& talk about it with each other.

& i try my hardest to teach them about boundaries, with their own, but also learning to respect others’ .. even if we don’t like it, just learning to respect others’ space, they do struggle with that cause their mom lacks boundaries.. but i still give them that grace & patience. i also model for them, too, to show them what does healthy boundaries look like.

If she ignores your no and forces and/or coerces you into it, that’s not just assault, that is one hundred percent rape, no question.
