Celebrating my birthday at one of my favorite places 🍻 ##dirtbagalesbrewery #birthday #NC

April is Limb Loss Awareness month. I lost my leg due to abuse. Though losing a limb is tragic I am grateful for the life I have. We are not our trauma! Never give up and be the cycle breaker! 🦿💜 #limblossawarenessmonth #munchausenbyproxy #survivor #foryou

My mom claimed a doctors put a cast on my foot wrong and caused a “pressure ulcer” that would never heal. I was never treated for a pressure ulcer. I was 2 years old in 1996. I didnt have any surgeries until I was 13years old. My surgeries were unecessay plastic surgeries to treat the callus on my heel. They amputated my healthy leg below the knee. #munchausenbyproxy #foryou #abuse

Münchausen syndrome by proxy is not just a mental illness. It is absue and should be changed to be called Medical Child Abuse. We dont deem other forms of abuse as just some mental illness. This has made it difficult for most survivors to get any kind of justice #munchausenbyproxy #foryou
