I will be turning 28 soon here in April and so I am choosing to bring out content that is relevant, important, and personal to me. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and just haven’t found the correct time to do it. I feel the time is now. I am choosing to dedicate the month of April to the horror stories of those who have suffered or are suffering from domestic violence.
MYX in the Dark tells scary stories. As a person who has survived an abusive relationship, I’m going to be very honest with you that I can take ghosts, spirits, sounds at night, whatever, but when it comes to abuse - something physical, emotional, or mental that affects a real person - THAT to me counts as a true scary story.
There are SO many forms of abuse. I want to share a definition from the National Domestic Violence Hotline, “Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship.
Let me be clear that these episodes are not meant to blame or shame anyone - it is simply to allow a space of healing, learning, and opportunity to tell your stories and let others know that they are not alone.
I will be opting out of ads, promotions, or any revenues attached to the episodes due to the nature of the content.
Your stories will be kept completely anonymous if you choose. During this series I will be heavily monitoring comments. If you have a story and are willing to share, please send it to myxinthedark@gmail.com. If you are someone who needs immediate help please utilize the people you can trust around you, call the Domestic Violence Hotline, or call 911. I have attached some resources in the description below.
