I’m beyond devastated by the news that has come out in the last couple of days of a woman brutally murdered by her ex and a beautiful baby girl murdered by her father. I know we are all weary of this, of reading about it, of crying, of feeling even a slight fraction in our hearts of what these beautiful women and children’s loved ones have to feel. I don’t even know what to say, but maybe here can be somewhere to discuss and or vent. I wish I’d never looked at the news.

What will it take? Women and children are not valued and this year has taught us that it is not changing and hasn’t changed despite all the smarmy rhetoric,white ribbons and promises.

It’s so awful, what these men have put them through. I have to turn off the news sometimes because it’s so traumatic, but I end up turning it back on because their stories should not be ignored.

Furious. I’m furious. And I tear up every time I see that baby. Darcey Freeman was thrown to her death in 2010. NOTHING will change while the LNP are in.

I spent a bit of time last night and this morning reading. And crying. This is still happening. Poor Kelly spent the last eight weeks of her life grieving the loss of her mum. Plus, all the scary stuff going on with her ex. I am heartbroken for her, her traumatised kids and family. Plus the neighbours who tried to help when they heard the explosions. I don’t know much about the case involving the baby but am so sad and angry that her life was taken. The murder of Kelly Wilkinson must have been very triggering for Hannah Clarkes’s family. This has got to stop. 🙁
