It directly effects me as I am a victim and I am not able to reach any help. It is painful to be owned and disposed of as property. Life is precious and it has been stolen yet no law gives me the right to be restored to my own life, but gives nodding approval to a filthy criminal. It is not right, I can say that. It is not right.!

I am being harassed and robbed even tho there is a 2 year protective order in place against my husband. I've taken him back to court, went to the police and the magistrates office and nothing has stopped him from breaking in. I've changed all the locks twice. I'm now trying to afford security cameras.

Technically, I am not a victim of domestic abuse, but since my stalkers have followed me for so long, the courts decided to call it that. I am now being forced to live next door to two of them and in the same apartment building with several more stalkers in Kingston, NY. I understand the hopelessness that you can feel. I was never physically abused by my Ex-Husband Jeff Gordon, a natural landscaper and farmer.(not the race car driver). I am currently undergoing psychiatric coercion by mental health, one of who had affairs with my Ex. I supposedly did not know my name is Joan Mikolajczyk, which it is not, but hence the name of Joan on the petition. I am Prudence Shagwell, child molestation victim by the same people claiming domestic abuse syndrome.

The courts are very limited by current laws and burden of proof standards. The change starts with us advocating for legislative improvements. Mental health professionals, law enforcement, medical experts, and victims can help educate law makers with hard data, statistics, and anecdotes. God be for us and our cause!

I was stalked aggressively by my ex and was greatly disappointed by the lack of help and understanding from law enforcement and the DA.

I was a victim of cyberstalking for for over half a decade now. The damage left behind is still prevalent: I have lost opportunities, constantly being undermine with lies even when it should be the opposite, covertly put down to damage my self-esteem, isolated from family, friends and society in general, and put on an emotional roll-coaster ride. Basically anything I do seems to distorted to make me the bad guy, make me incompetent or hide the fact that I am very skilled in a lot of things I do.
I now want to play part in fighting this new threat in the digital era. Either the victims or victim's family or friends should have to be put through have I have been through.

Real help needed to support victims of fraud, stalking, Hostile Aggressive Parenting and DV. Ignorance and Judgement of DV with abuser is everywhere: Social Services, Law Professionals,
support services, investigating child abuse reports and implementing child safety during investigation. "domestic violence and stalking service community is currently a self-regulated system that is broken. Victims face enormous obstacles when trying to find assistance, and often when they reach out for help, they are overly-referred, turned away or denied service, from agencies that do not offer 'direct services' to victims." Everyday I watch my 5 & 6 year old boys suffering and the system does nothing to help the real victims.

I am a victim that has been left behind. The stalking of all types has been relentless. I feel like I have been on a never-ending treadmill for years. I divorced seventeen years ago and the abuser has had more control over me and been more abusive since the divorce. Praise to Alexis Moore and SIA. It is time victims of abuse around the country and world in general receive real, lasting help such that victims may move on and create new lives in safety.

I'm a victim of my ex-husband who abuses the legal system to the fullest... he's called my job trying to get me fired by making false complaints against me; he's called DCF Child Abuse Hotline on me on 10 times and every single case has been closed with no findings of abuse on my daughter, there is a case pending right now... which would make this the tenth false complaint he's made against me; when is enough enough already. I'm filing a complaint against him along with a civil suit.

i think a lot of people don't even know they are being abusive. too many people with low dopamine levels or imbalance of brain chemistry.

I thought my husband of 16 years was an abuser but actually he was a saint. Now I know better because for 7 years after my husband and I divorced I was under the claws of a doctor who heavily medicated me and abused me leaving me disabled and unable to think for myself but filled with anxiety and doubt. My parents removed me from the relationship but because ...

I can personally attest to this..I've been in a situation where I've been emotionally , mentally and physically abused by my mother and other relatives, threatened constantly to be put out with no where to go, phone taken , and internet cut off..controlled and manipulated but I'm hanging in there and focused on my career goals , if they allow me to. Living in a negative environment is physically draining and robs all of your energy..Its not easy but if i stay strong and fight back..I will make it out on my own.

I have been emotionally abused and occassionally physically abused for a few years by my parents. I have called out for help three times and the professionals who are supposed to help me have simply stated that I am not abused and it is just a phase, despite telling them of my struggles with suicidal thoughts I had for about 3/4 of a year when I was 14.
Justice is needed. Until this corruption with the abuse aids are fixed, many many lives will be destroyed and/or ended.
