I'm consistently proud of my sister. Our parents aren't gonna do it so I be sure to tell her every time I see her. Our late mom was always vocal in her pride in who I grew up to be and I know she'd do the same for her if she was around, so it's only right to voice it.

When she graduated from nursing school. She had a kid. Was a waitress and worked an office job to afford nursing school. Her friends talked shit about her math skills. She wasn't always strong at math. But she's been a nurse for 5 years now and does really well with her family.
My sister's ex husband was a monster. at one point he was public enemy #1 in Washington State. The cyber stalking he did was so new it amazed the FBI at the time. It was a big fucking deal.
She stayed strong and survived the worst and finally was able to escape and tell the story. She was the subject of a NBC special and even Cosmopolitan had a multiple page piece on her.
But what I will forever be proud of her, she spoke to Congress and received a Thomas Jefferson Cup and had her prepared statement entered into the Congressional record.
She was a major factor in the cyber stalking laws that are currently in place around the USA
She is an amazing woman, I'm so proud of you big sis ❤️
This is a fantastic story that is really inspirational and contains enough personal details to de-anonymize your account.
Please never stop telling people.
But then again, looking at my own posts - I can find a reasoning chain to de-anonymize my account. Even though other probably couldn't.
probably not, she has changed her name and we never had the same last name. if someone here figured out who I am from this, they could have done it earlier from my post history
