MY FAMILY IS NOT YOUR SHIELD: STOP THE FALSE PRETENSES AND VERBAL ABUSE

 For the past 15 years, I have been subjected to relentless verbal abuse and harassment wherever I go. The perpetrators have targeted me by misusing the characters from my book, and they cowardly cover up their mental and verbal assaults by pretending the abuse is coming from my family or my ex-husband. Because I know my family deeply, and because I lived with my ex-husband long enough to know his character, I know with absolute certainty that they would never say the horrific things these bullies claim they are saying.

This situation perfectly illustrates a well-known idiom: "It is done in your name, but to someone else’s favor." These individuals mask their own malice and shift the blame by falsely linking their abuse to the people closest to me. They use the manipulative excuse, "There is no solution for what you and your family created," which is nothing more than a psychological tactic designed to maintain control and justify their bullying.

For 15 years, I have repeatedly turned to the justice system, pleading for them to intervene and stop this targeted harassment. Yet, they have completely neglected to control this abuse. I have been under constant attack for absolutely no reason, while the perpetrators continue to hide behind the false pretense that they are speaking on behalf of my family, friends, or ex-husband.

This relentless campaign is a direct, retaliatory critique of my book, "Can We Talk"—which is a true story documenting misconduct, racism, and abuse within workplaces and by certain service providers. Unfortunately, the justice system has not only failed to stop this ongoing harassment, but by consistently ignoring my complaints, they have signaled to these abusers that their actions carry absolutely no consequences.
