EXCELLENT, Alice! This is such great work. May God keep giving Cassie the strength and bravery to provide the truth to put this monster away for life. I pray that every name of every participant will be exposed, too. May God give continue giving you the inner strength and peace you need inside, Alice, because all this is so tough to hear, see and deal with! Thank you for writing this for the world.

To those of us reliving old traumas, shaking and angry: You are responding correctly to something horrifying.

You don’t have to forgive the world today.

You don’t have to make it make sense.

You only need to know you were always telling the truth.

Xoxo ppl were just so mean and would leave NASTY comments how I ducked at spelling and punctuation. If i wanted to be a real journalists/writer, apparently no mistakes can be made lol so I bought it to ruin articles thru. Once I did. They stopped lol but thanks. They ARE MY words. Promise.

Dear Alice, the Lord is with us as we called to expose the darkness. True mission work changes us maybe more than anything we do. We are purified by fire. We are called to ear witness as you are doing so honestly so well and so full of valor. Continue to ask God for the courage to follow it. *Alice was my grandmother’s name.

Fantastic you go GIRRRRRL

I can relate to the horror and humiliation needing to be relived again in the process of taking back one’s power from the predators who steal it FROM US in our quest for healing and justice through our legal system but it needs to bee 🐝 done!

“We” give people hope , “we” as gods glorious children are given the strength to show others that they too can be given the strength and courage to go into the crucible and heal -from sexual predation and the Trauma like no other trauma occurs ( sexual Trauma is a tool of war!!) and the subsequent shattering that occurs!

This is for me the most pertinent issue on the planet -as when it all boils down to it in my Exp shows this type of Trauma most people don’t come back from the shame -the silence -the humiliation the isolation is too to much !

This is such a service to our creator and the creations that need help !!

As like I said in my last post last time when you really deep dive …the entire system we live in is sexually exploitive !!

It’s time for a new way…

Keep up the good work !!

The ending of your article made me super emotional because it describes me. I have a son & suffer from the trauma of my childhood. My dad was abusive & an addict, so life was hell growing up. What you wrote just resonated so much with me as a woman, a mom, & a survivor who’s still trying to heal the little girl in me.

And it's so hard to like that little traumatized girl comes out like it's so bad I get triggered so easy I just have to realize when I'm being triggered so I can take a step back and realize that it's not the adult me that's about to respond it's been years of therapy to even entertain the thought of getting to that point where you can recognize yourself slipping do you know what I mean does that make sense

YES! I was trying to explain this to my husband last night about how my childhood really shaped me & how the little girl inside me is still trying to heal & maybe always will be. As a mom, I’ve noticed a lot of hurt & pain that isn’t healed like I thought. I guess motherhood brings all that trauma out of us, so through therapy & just trying to recognize my triggers, I try to just take some space for myself in those moments.

It's so true! But hey the fact you're even reconnecting with ourself in those moments. Knowing when YOURE getting crazy. If the adult in u can keep her in check. By waking away. Breathing.... whatever. That's HUGE. So while the trauma plays out everyday in some form. Knowing you're in control gives u power back. For real. Keep up the healing sister xo

This was a hard read but a needed one. I literally had to get zofran lol- I know it sounds dramatic but I was so nauseated. When you have been abused and to see and read a smidge of what she endured it’s hard to even digest. Her bravery’s is unwavering and your writing is powerful! God Bless♥️🙏🏼

God bless you too no you're fine girl it took me a little while to write it I had to stop and come back a few times. That's why some days when I dive into this for like 3 days straight by Thursday like I can't write a sub stack on it cuz I'm sick to my stomach and mentally and emotionally drained

I can’t even imagine the just how heavy that court room really was today. I mean from her strong voice, her husband hearing this all while the POS Sean sat in his seat with his family behind him that range in age of the same timeframe of their relationship of a 19yr old girl & a 37yr grown man to which now we ALL know he’s definitely not a man one bit. Well guess what your sons, daughters, mom and whoever else is “rah rah” for you now have seen, heard and hopefully felt the disgust & cruelty you did towards others. I pray for Cassie & her family, pray her newborn is born without any complications as I feel this is truly the end of her past of hell she’s been through & now she can be free from her mental chains of the past, raise her precious blessings from the Good Lord along with her husband and live a beautiful life of a wife & mom who was once broken is now full again with Faith, Love & Hope for a better life than what she experienced long ago. What’s done in the dark, ALWAYS comes to 💡 May her 💡 shine bright for others to stand up and share their darkness with this evil & vile creature.

Great writing as you took us on a self reflection & relatable to many deep dive of your not alone & to keep going🙏🏼

You are so brave to write this story. My stomach ached reading it. I suffer from awful childhood trauma and really understand what a toll this must be taking on you as well. I hope Cassy gets the help she needs to keep dealing with her trauma. Combs deserves prison no bail and should never be released. He is sick and a danger to society.
