This is not for a divorce. This involves a sexual assault matter.

I wrote my book about patterns of power, narcissism, cults, coercion, silence, and systemic protection of abusers.

And now we’re watching those exact dynamics play out on a world stage with the Epstein files.

This isn’t just about one man. It’s about how predators are enabled, how victims are dismissed, how institutions stall, deflect, and protect themselves instead of the vulnerable.

People keep asking, “How did this happen?”
The harder question is: Why does this keep happening and why are survivors still waiting to be believed, seen, and protected?

If you understand narcissistic abuse, cult dynamics, and trauma bonding, none of this is surprising. It’s devastating, but it’s not new.

Truth has a way of surfacing. What we do with it is the test.

📣 Calling Survivors of Wall Street Abuse 📣
If you were harmed, manipulated, silenced, exploited, or abused by someone in the finance, investment, hedge fund, banking, or trading world; your story matters.
Too many powerful people hide behind money, titles, and influence. That ends when survivors speak.
This is a safe space to share:
• Workplace abuse
• Financial coercion
• Emotional manipulation
• Sexual harassment
• Power exploitation
• NDA intimidation
• Retaliation for speaking up
You can stay anonymous if you choose. Your voice deserves to be heard.
Go to wallstreetdiscriminates.com or comment 🖤 if you’re ready to share. Many people at are in the Together, we expose the patterns. Together, we protect others.

So many women I work with say the same thing, over and over again:

“I don’t feel seen.”
“I’m not believed.”
“I’m not protected.”

That’s what narcissistic abuse does on a personal level and it’s exactly what we’re watching play out on a collective one.

When women come forward about abuse, exploitation, or harm, the response is often silence, minimization, delay, or deflection. And now, with the Epstein files being released and still no real accountability, that old wound is being ripped open again.

It sends a chilling message:
Your pain can be documented.
Your truth can be known.
And still… nothing happens.

So women ask the same question they asked in abusive relationships, in family court, in workplaces, in institutions:

“Why am I not being protected?”
“Why am I not being heard?”
“Why does this keep happening with no consequences?”

This is why narcissistic abuse feels so destabilizing; it mirrors systems of power that reward image over truth and protect perpetrators over victims. When society reenacts DARVO on a global scale, survivors feel it in their nervous systems.

If you’re feeling retraumatized, angry, numb, or exhausted right now—you’re not weak. You’re perceptive. You’re responding to injustice.

And you are not imagining this.

Seeing, hearing, and protecting women should not be radical.
It should be the bare minimum.
