I want to tell you a personal story, not to change your mind, but maybe soften your heart. I was 18 when I married my 1st husband. He treated me very well until we came back from our honeymoon and then all bets were off. I wanted & needed help but I was around females who would say things like it's the woman's fault for getting beat, be a better wife (my elders & church members); And the people my age would make comments about the stupidity of women who stay in abusive relationships. I ran to family in another state and he showed up there with a gun threatening to kill them if I didn't come home. Around the same time, my best friend's sister had run away from her abusive husband & was in the same small city I was in, except he came from out of town & emptied a gun into her on her mother's porch. I went back to protect my family & suffered for years in silence. Sometimes things look so simple & clear from the outside looking in, but there are extenuating circumstances that no one but the 2 of them & God will know as to why she stayed. I can only tell you why I stayed & hopefully it may soften your heart: I was scared & thought that I had to protect my family; The weight of condemnation & judgment from the church & those in my inner circle/peers let me know that I wouldn't get any help; Back then, the police didn't help women, especially in the Black community. All of those things anchored me to that situation with no hope of help or change. Look, you're certainly entitled to your opinion but I don't want you to lose sight of the fact that many factors will keep you tied to a relationship/marriage that's past its expiration date, especially if the man is unstable & thinks of you as a possession. Please keep an open mind since domestic violence is so prevalent in the Black community & trust me when I tell you NO woman would stay to continue to be beaten or mistreated if they have hope and/or help. Just think about MAYBE being more understanding & sympathetic to your sisters-in-spirit. Have a wonderful day! 💖🍷

Ty. I KNOW this is just going to be fuel for Tasha to do greater things. I don't want her to think about the negative aspects & beat herself up. Tasha is a strong woman and she'll use this as motivation. That's what Pisces do!
Thanks. It's the truth though. Tasha needs a moment to grieve and that's ok. We love & support her and as a strong woman, I trust & believe that this is just a bump in the road and it can't stop her. PERIODT!

I apologize for being late with my response. On FB, my name is Born to Speak because they don't allow numbers In your name unless it's a business account. Thanks for looking into it when you get a moment. 💖🍷

Tasha, I appreciate your transparency and your willingness to apologize to Cardi B and her family and friends. What I don't want to see is that this keeps you down. As you said, you live and learn, especially in life because it doesn't come with written instructions and we're ALL works in progress. Take a moment, cry if need be, pick yourself up, lift your head and keep moving forward one day at a time. All lessons may not seem easy or right on our journey, but they all are designed to strengthen us, and smooth out our rough places to make us into the diamonds that we are! I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, but The Winos are here for you and we shall not be moved. As you're dealing with this, never forget that! So take your Tuesday off, rest and meditate and we'll see you on Wednesday. Your blessings have not been stopped or interrupted. Sending you light, love and laughter wrapped in prayers.

You know what? This seems like a ploy to be relevant again. I know some people think any press is good press, but I wouldn't make myself look like a fool just for my face to be in the public eye again. Tell him to go balls to the wall then because nothing that was said was defamation of character. A hit dog will holla, just like a cheater wants to stay hidden in the dark. Well welcome to the light Carol Ann!
