Please Don’t Tell Anyone

Submission: " I was manipulated, abused, and almost trafficked by a guy from my gym. He removed the battery from my car in an attempt to remain in control over me and harassed and threatened me for months after I finally got the courage to leave. Now I work in a field where I get to help convict abusers like him. "

"I spent five summers working as a tree planter in the rural wilderness of northern British Columbia. It saved my life and almost killed me at the same time. By day, I was doing one of the most physically and emotionally grueling jobs a person can do. Working in the snow, the rain, and the heat, while having scary encounters with bears, wasps, and ATVs, questioning my existence.

And by night, I was sitting by bonfires, taking drugs, having sex, and parting my face off with the greatest community of people I've ever met. "

Submission: “I accidentally became a financial dominatrix at 17 and I am still currently doing it on and off until now. It started off as a really bad and awkward first date and turned into what it is today.”

TW: SA, Rape

Submission: "When I was 16, I was raped by the same person I married about nine months ago. I don't blame him because the school we went to did not teach consent and I froze up so that I couldn't say no out loud. It has made intimacy difficult even to this day and I struggled to find a therapist until recently. "

Summisoin - "I am a 36 year old travel and wildlife photographer. Who in January of 2023 embarked on a trip around the world. In April of 2023, I found myself in Malaysia, where I started dating a handsome Nigerian man. After returning to Thailand to make plans to move closer to him, I found out I was pregnant.

Seeing his odd reaction to the news caused me to do some digging, and I found out that this was part of a new organized crime ring called "Womb Rentals", where men impregnate women for financial gains, citizenship to their country, or even child trafficking. Instead of running back to the States, I decided to buy a one-way ticket return to Malaysia and go after him and everyone involved."
