I'll apologise in advance if this post becomes quite long'. I used to comment frequently 3+ reads or so and then became a bit of a lurker. I shared some things i went through as a survivor/child that was hurt by the domestic violence marriage my own mother was in herself. Everytime i saw Rs face or a story shared by others about saint R, i just became so angry so i stepped back for my own sake and also my unborn child
Some of us and even people who haven't been through DV/Child abuse will watch Rs stories, and get taken aback by what they have just seen from Rs posts/stories and some could even be triggered. The platform that Rs is promoting and 'speaking out on', personally, i think she needs to be a bit more sensitive and more aware of what she is sharing. I 100% agree that we shouldn't please others because we would still get judged regardless BUT Rs isnt being sensitive to some of the audience that she has that she could possibly trigger. (I hope that makes sence).
A very close family member of mine has worked with domestic violence victims and now works with DV victims who are moving on to supported living. I showed him PTWM/Rs page and some screenshots I have of her showing emails from warriors and personal messeges and HIS OWN words were 'Is this woman actually just plain STUPID? She isn't safeguarding their safety and a DV victims abuser could find out things on very little info.' We've all been through the 'one thing after another' happening and wondering when are we going to have a break? But Rs life seems to be one 'horrific' thing after another. One thing that did outrage me is that SHE is the victim in absolutely everything.
Rachael or whatever your name is.. if YOU yourself was struggling with your mental health (something that you, yourself are promoting awarness of) and your children were taken away from you and the father/mother and their spouse were playing happy families with your children, and making you out to be a psycho, how would you feel? There are some parents who are a danger to their children but the boys mum clearly loves her boys. Why, as a mother cant you put yourself in Samanthas shoes and see how she is feeling? Her boys, the boys she gave birth to, flaunted on Social media cant even give them as much if a cuddle? Some of the children have made it clear that they want to have some sort of a private life and not be shared so much on SM, why cant you respect that? If i shared intimate moments of my child and she saw them years later plastered all over SM she would be horrified and very rightly so, pissed off!
Also, it broke my heart when i saw a commenter on here say she was a frequent donater and she was also going through chemo and i'm sure she said that she asked a question and was blocked. Lies don't stay hidden forever R and i hope that your children arent hurt by it all by your own actions through your own selfish needs!
