💙 Help Liam Through His Next Battle 💙 Our son Liam is 12 years old and has spent most of his life fighting battles no child should ever have to fight. Liam has brain tumors/optic pathway glioma, NF1, epilepsy, nonverbal autism, an intellectual disability, and is legally blind. He is also a St. Jude patient and is currently undergoing chemotherapy for the THIRD time since he was just 5 years old, with our home hospital Arnold Palmer Hospital for children. Our lives already revolve around oncology appointments, chemotherapy, MRIs under sedation, treatments, hospital stays, specialists, therapies, medications, and making sure Liam has everything he needs to safely navigate a world he experiences very differently. And now we're facing another major hurdle. At Liam's recent orthopedic appointment, we learned that his scoliosis has progressed dramatically. Last year his spinal curve measured 26 degrees. It is now 49 degrees. His doctors have told us that we've reached the point where surgery is necessary. Before surgery can even happen, Liam will need additional testing, including another MRI under sedation, and clearance from his oncology teams at St. Jude and Arnold Palmer. Then we'll begin preparing for surgery and what could be a very challenging recovery. For any child, major spinal surgery is scary. For Liam, there are additional challenges. He doesn't always have the ability to tell us where or how badly he hurts. Changes in routine, unfamiliar environments, and medical procedures can be extremely difficult because of his autism. His epilepsy, cancer, blindness, and the fact that he is currently on chemotherapy also mean that every part of his surgery and recovery will have to be carefully coordinated. We have created this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden that comes with Liam's ongoing cancer treatment, upcoming spinal surgery, and recovery—including hospital expenses, meals, medications, medical supplies, time away from work, and any additional care or equipment Liam may need during his recovery. We don't know exactly what the next several months will look like, but we do know one thing: Liam will never have to face any of this alone. If you're able to donate, no amount is too small. If you can't donate, sharing Liam's fundraiser and his story means just as much to our family. More than anything, please keep our sweet boy in your thoughts and prayers as we prepare him and ourselves for this next chapter. Liam has been fighting since he was little. He's now facing his third time on chemotherapy while preparing for major spinal surgery at only 12 years old. Now we're asking our village to help us fight alongside him. 💙Thank you for loving Liam, praying for him, supporting our family, and helping us get our boy through another battle. 💙 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read Liam’s story. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to our family as we continue this fight alongside our brave little boy. you can follow Liams story on FB page Liams Legacy With our love, Kelly and Steven givesendgo.com/helpliam?utm_…

BREAKING: Russell Brand sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault.

Praying for a just verdict today, and that Matthew Farwell will be found guilty and kept in custody for the rest of his ife. Justice for what he did to Sandra Birchmore and her baby boy.

I'm NOT ready! @LorenKatie @Side_Eye_1 you better bundle up too. I don't know who pissed off Mother Nature but I will find them😂

🚨 BREAKING: RUSSELL BRAND SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT British comedian and actor Russell Brand, 51, was sentenced today, November 9, 2026, at Southwark Crown Court in London. 🔸 Guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, involving four women. 🔸 The crimes occurred between 2004 and 2009, during Brand's rise to fame. 🔸 Brand was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. 🔸 Prosecutors argued that Brand exploited his celebrity status, influence, and power to target women. 🔸 Judge Joel Bennathan described Brand's behavior as showing a disregard for women's right to refuse sexual advances. 🔸 Brand maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, insisting his sexual encounters were consensual. Brand was taken into custody following his November 5 conviction and has now received a 10½-year prison sentence. Authorities are also investigating two additional rape allegations that were not part of this trial. thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…

Liam had his best day yet today! He and Mickey were cracking each other up, and Liam was belly laughing. His laughter is so contagious—I never thought I’d hear anything so wonderful. He went to Walgreens with Daddy and spent some more time laying in the grass. These moments mean more to me than ever. If you’d like one or more Liam’s Legacy bracelets, you can donate through our GiveSendGo and message me. I’ve mailed out some already. A few may have head a postage issue because the person who weighed them also put the stamps on, but some have started arriving. Thank you so much for supporting Liam and his legacy! givesendgo.com/helpliam?utm_…

Well who pissed off Mother Nature ?!?

DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It's a manipulation tactic in which someone accused of wrongdoing shifts the focus away from their own behavior and portrays themselves as the victim. 🔸 D — DENY: They deny doing anything wrong, even when confronted with evidence. 🔸 A — ATTACK: Instead of addressing their behavior, they attack the person confronting them. They may question their credibility, motives, or character. 🔸 RVO — REVERSE VICTIM AND OFFENDER: They flip the situation around, portraying themselves as the person being mistreated while making the person who raised the concern look like the aggressor. Example of DARVO Person A: "You lied about me and spread rumors." Person B: "I never did that! You're obsessed with me! You're constantly attacking me, and I'm sick of being bullied by you!" Notice what happened? Person B never addressed the original accusation. Instead, they denied it, attacked Person A, and claimed to be the real victim. DARVO vs. a perpetual victim mentality Perpetual victim mentality: A recurring pattern of seeing oneself as the victim. DARVO: A specific defensive pattern used to deflect accountability and reverse the roles of victim and offender. The biggest takeaway: DARVO can make the person raising a legitimate concern feel like they're the one who did something wrong. However, not every denial, disagreement, or claim of being mistreated is DARVO. The broader context and evidence matter.

A perpetual victim is someone who consistently sees themselves as the victim in nearly every situation, regardless of the circumstances or their own role in what happened. Someone with a perpetual victim mentality may: 🔸 Never take accountability, Everything is always someone else's fault. 🔸 Blame others constantly, They believe people are always mistreating, attacking, or targeting them. 🔸 Seek sympathy and validation, They frequently want others to feel sorry for them or take their side. 🔸 Twist situations, They may portray themselves as the person who was wronged, even when they contributed to the conflict. 🔸 Refuse to acknowledge their mistakes, Instead of reflecting on their behavior, they focus on what everyone else did wrong. 🔸 Repeat the same conflicts, They often find themselves in similar situations but believe everyone else is the problem. The important distinction: Someone can genuinely be a victim of mistreatment without having a victim mentality. In simple terms: A perpetual victim is someone who makes being wronged a central part of their identity, often struggling to recognize their own responsibility in situations.
