Description

πŸ•³οΈ β€œJustice wasn’t going to happenβ€”not ever. And the truth about who I really was... didn’t matter.”


After years of false accusations, wrongful conviction, and the slow erosion of hope, Bruce reaches a devastating breaking point. This episode of Three Times A Victim reveals what happens when a person is silenced for too longβ€”and when the system not only fails, but forgets.


πŸ’” In This Episode:

βœ”οΈ The unbearable cost of injustice: isolation, despair, and suicidal thoughts

βœ”οΈ Toxic shame as a living wound that distorts identity and self-worth

βœ”οΈ The fear of never being believed, trusted, or able to work with children

βœ”οΈ Hospitalization as both crisis and lifeline

βœ”οΈ The desperate longing: β€œI cannot live with people thinking I could hurt a woman.”


⚠️ This is not just a story about traumaβ€”it’s about the fragile line between survival and surrender.


And yet, amid the darkness, there are glimmers of something else: the deep human need to be believed. And the life-saving impact of compassion when it finally arrives.
