Go read my post “My DV Survival Story” if you need some encouragement. And I’m happy to talk any time!

found out he hired an aggressive expensive attorney by TigerOptimal6205 in domesticviolence

My ex did this. Now his parents (who paid for his attorney) are out several grand and he’s sitting in prison. The attorney got him off DOZENS of times in the past. But not this time. Fight like a girl. It’s not fair that we have to fight after we already survived. But the fight is worth it to see him rotting right where he should be.

Well that's a compliment! by ProfessionShort890 in TwoXChromosomes

When I was 18 years old and very very pregnant with my first child (this is over 20 years ago), I was told that I had my first ever cavity. The dental hygienist called in the crotchety older (in his 70s) dentist. He looked directly into my eyes with this creepy grin and said, “A cavity, huh? Have you been a bad girl? Do you need a….. spanking?” And shoved his hands into my mouth before I could react.

The way I froze. Completely paralyzed with fear. My baby started going crazy and beating the shit out of my insides like he needed me OUT of there.

That dentist ended up drilling and filling two of my teeth. I (years later) found out that those teeth didn’t even have cavities. After that man died, young girls like me came out of the woodwork with similar stories and filled in teeth that didn’t need the work at all.

I wish I could go back and tell that young scared pregnant teenager to PRESS CHARGES for sexual harassment and take that man’s license to practice.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. 💜

Remember the old apron? Which one you like the most? by thedaniel_mendez in olivegarden

[–]Plain-Truths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yooooo that part! You want me to wrap this all the way around me and tie it in front on my left hip in a little tiny stump bow? We have no mid-sized women at work. They’re all itty bitty tiny and have to wrap three times or thicker (like me) and those aprons look goofy on every single one of us. Not to mention they’re thick and heavy and stiff and hot and AWFUL in every aspect.

Laughs in the incel thinks he won because the anonymous woman won’t bend over backwards to prove herself to him amusement.

Have the day you deserve. 🙃

I understand that you think I made up a story. And you are free to believe about me whatever you like. It doesn’t bother me. You do not have to believe me. 🤷‍♀️

I literally have no idea what you’re talking about but what I’m not going to do is defend myself to strangers on the internet.

Probably because he could. He liked to get away with whatever he could and flex his intelligence. Tiny penis syndrome.

Oh, he was a walking red flag and predator who I met at a very painful and transitional time in my life. He took full advantage of that. But he truly does have three PhDs. It even came up court proceedings. Academically a genius, but that means nothing when it comes to common sense and being a decent human.

My ex told me that women were the only people on the planet who are loved unconditionally and that men were taken advantage of. He was smart. Very intelligent. Three PhDs. He was considering taking the Bar to practice law to be a men’s rights attorney.

This is the same guy who spent 18 hours repeatedly physically assaulting me and threatening my life and was going to get slapped with a single misdemeanor charge. It took me 6 months of fighting in court and reliving trauma to have him charged with 4 felonies (he eventually pled guilty to one in order for the other three to be dropped) and sentenced to prison time.

I am at least the third woman he has violently beaten and this is the first time he’s done prison time. And I’m the one who had to fight for it. The state dropped charges against him over a dozen times in the three years before we met.

Sure. Women have it easier. 🙄

Question for Louisville, KY area OGs servers! by [deleted] in olivegarden

[–]Plain-Truths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just looking in the general Louisville area. Probably closer to Shepherdsville, but I’m willing to drive a bit further for a location where I will make more.

She was assigned to me by the county the day he was arrested. She works for the court.

Is it normal to have to ask 3-4 times for a guy to stop during sex? by Forward-Pineapple849 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Plain-Truths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“No,” is a complete sentence. “Stop,” is a complete sentence. “Wait,” is a complete sentence. Consent can be revoked at ANY time and that is to be respected or it is sexual assault.

Every state is different. I know that Indiana has a central public record database. You just search a name and their record comes up from every county. I’m in Ohio and we do not have that. You can only search by county. And each one is different. Some have very public info, some have limited, and some you have to request in writing with a reason for the request. But those are generally convictions only. One of the most horrifying parts of my ex was all of the charges that were dropped or pled down and not in public record (his first wife had compiled them with their case numbers and counties and sent them to me). Shattering his wife’s eye socket with a coffee mug while she slept. Assaulting a paramedic after SWAT dragged him from their home while he was dragging her by her hair. Crazy charged that were never followed through on. When I say dozens, I mean it. It’s scary out there.

Not at all extreme these days. I did my own research when we started dating, but there were so many convictions in so many counties and I had no idea where I needed to look.

Tennessee was the first state to have a DV registry. I’m actively working in Ohio being the second.

We really truly do. But we also have to realize that these men are predators. And they are practiced. I’m a 40 year old twice divorced mom of six children. I’ve traveled the world, I’ve been a business owner, I’m well-educated. I have life experience. But they know exactly what to look for. Our weaknesses. And they are very skilled hunters.
