1/3 Vulnerability.

I feel I am in a place to speak out, but it still involves opening up to uncertainty. Yesterday I added the @ChildlessWeek frame to my personal facebook profile, as I wanted to show my support and add my voice to making our invisible grief visible. Image
2/3 I received positive responses, but still a fragility resonates inside - something my wife pointed out as making myself vulnerable. I view this vulnerability as part of taking risk, part of growth, part of healing. So here I am, vulnerable and ok.

This is going to be a THREAD about #MeToo, #SpeakingOut and my feelings about making the world a better (AND SAFER) place for women - not only women in the entertainment industry - but for WOMEN. Period. I've got a lot to say and trying to figure out where to begin...
I was raised by a single mom. She had abusive boyfriends for years. I dealt with their physical and emotional nonsense from time to time. I never got really hurt, but I also didn't walk away unscathed. I saw male violence at its purest and brutal.
It didn't take an advanced degree in psychology to know that it was wrong to be abusive. My young male brain immediately understood that no one deserved to be treated that way. This became wired into my moral DNA and has remained there ever since.

Very scary doing this. But I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I did.
Things need to change. #SpeakingOut
Things didn’t end with Jake. I began training under Travis Banks. When I was 17, we had a secret one year relationship in which he wouldn’t speak to....
Me or be near me in public incase anyone would find out.
Cheated on me multiple times in-front of my face, and was horrible to me.

Had a massive effect on my mental health and self confidence. I hated wrestling and the person I became when I was with him. #speakingout
I really hope that #SpeakingOut movement actually creates the changes the wrestling industry so desperately needs.
