The conversations that this movie, and this episode are starting is amazing. We screamed and hollered and cried when women talking won an Oscar! Glennon, Abbey, Amanda, and Sarah, you are all people who are changing my life, and so many others. Thank you thank you thank you for the beautiful conversation!💞

Need to watch this movie

I have been hearing about this movie for awhile and have been wanting to watch it…now it’s a priority! I’m one of the few women who has not experienced sexual assault but in the last few years I now realize I have been in an emotional neglect marriage for 35 years. I almost feel like this isn’t abuse even though I have the same trauma as a physical or sexual abused person. As a women I need to stand against all abuse and my wish is that all women find their voice and courage to come forward and we all need to support those who can find that strength.
