Walking away wasn't easy, but something's are better then staying, where we weren't appreciated.

Don't tell a woman with children to simply walk away from an abusive relationship. The abuse escalates the moment she tries to leave. Leaving takes strategy and support. If you're not offering either, keep your opinions to yourself.

People who have never lived inside an abusive home have no idea how dangerous the words "just leave" actually are. For a mother, the stakes are even higher. She is not staying because she is weak, she is surviving, protecting her children, and waiting for the safest possible moment.

What these women need is not judgment wrapped in advice. They need a safety plan, real support, and patience. If you cannot show up with any of that, your opinion is not help, it is harm. Stand beside her, not above her.

Samson Cree Nation acknowledges and honors the traditional territories and stewardship of the Nations connected to Jasper National Park.

As we reflect on “450,000 km² of memories,” we recognize the deep cultural, spiritual, and historical ties Indigenous Peoples continue to hold with these lands. We extend our respect to the Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 Nations, and to the Anishinabe, Aseniwuche Winewak, Dene-zaa, Nêhiyawak, Secwépemc, Stoney Nakoda, Mountain Métis, and Métis peoples — past, present, and future generations.

These lands carry stories, memories, and teachings that continue to guide and connect our people. We honor all those who continue to protect, care for, and share the beauty and spirit of the land for generations to come. 🤍

Our family is safe from Domestic violence, if you are feeling alone just know your not. If you need assistance please reach out privately.

Leaving Sobercrew was one of the most hardest things I had to do thinking It was healthy, meanwhile it was about power, control and entitlements.

Today I walk stronger then ever standing tall, for me and my children, additionally other women on the runway we continue to uprise 🤞🏾❤️💪🏾 to stand up and break down barriers. We walk in our power but don't want to be over powered and controlled in a disrespectful way

If you are a mother and are being controlled, we're here to support you and your children

If are escaping domestic violence and your partner continues lying to you and your children were here for you 💕

Your not alone, and don't need to be told it's okay to be controlled

Coercive control can look like undermining a mother's authority, interfering with routines, manipulating children, creating fear around parenting decisions, or using custody and the children themselves as tools of control. The harm reaches far beyond the relationship.

When we support survivors, we support their children, too. 💜
