  • Meriam’s Story

    This story was so triggering for me parallels my experience. The only difference is we did not have children together. Thank you for sharing your story. Your story helped me to not feel so alone.

    Just explaining the experiences you go through with these ‘things’ ,(they do not serve to be called people imho)@ sounds crazy to those who have not gone thru it or who have known somebody who did.

    Thank you again for your strength and familiarity in your story. ❤️

  • Thank you!

    Just listened to Top 10 Excuses based on cultural norms episode, and it was so refreshing to hear someone, especially a man, calling out the expectations placed on women to keep accommodating and absorbing all the deficits in a relationship.
