Speaking Up Against Domestic Abuse

Hi, guys. It's Taryn with Justice4mom, once again. I want to speak today about speaking up against domestic abuse. It is a hard thing to believe -- that domestic violence occurs – until you see it yourself. Then, all of a sudden it is very, very real and relatable. At that point, all those news stories you have seen have meaning. And it is shocking and devastating to you and anyone involved.

That is what happened with me. I watched my father, Mike Rinder, domestically abuse my mother with grave physical ramifications. He had no remorse - this is typical of someone who commits domestic violence.

My father, Mike Rinder, tore my mother’s arm apart. He did not care.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I cleaned up the blood.

Then I was there with my mom and watched her go through years of pain.

I was there when she discovered that my father actually broke her shoulder. Of course, he pretends it did not happen, but it did.

I suffered with her undergoing surgery.

I ached with her through physical therapy.

And saw her anguish from the pain.

There is no question about what happened or the truth of Mike Rinder's domestic violence.

The truth did not change the fact that my father, Mike Rinder, denied the damage caused by his vicious physical attack on my mother, which I witnessed with my own eyes.

To this day he has not owned up to his devastating act of violence.

To this day, he has not apologized.

Instead, Mike Rinder has shamed my mom, the victim -- not helped her. And he has gotten his friends to shame her, by lying to them about what happened.

If you have witnessed your mom or a family member being domestically abused, like my father Mike Rinder did to my mother, damaging her for life, don’t doubt the strength of your one voice to make a change.

Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t doubt your mom. Help her. Help yourself be strong and take a stand.

If all of us together do this, we will make a change in the world. We can and will end domestic abuse.

Thank you. This is Taryn with Justice4mom.

Help Friends

Hello. This is Taryn with www.Justice4mom.org Friends, we all have them. We depend on them. They depend on us. They are there with us in good times and in bad. That is why I wanted to talk to you about friends, in regards to Domestic Violence and Domestic Abuse.

As a friend, you are closest to someone. Out of the 7.7 billion people on Earth, you are going to know your friend more than 99.99999 percent of the population. Therefore, you will know or at least see any signs of Domestic violence or domestic abuse.

This is when you must not close your eyes to that domestic abuse, or when you suspect domestic abuse, but help your friend fix it as my friends have helped support me in the devastation I witnessed at the hands of my father, Mike Rinder.

Having myself, seen my father, Mike Rinder, violently and brutally attack my mother, it is very clear to me how shattering domestic violence can be, for the whole family. That’s why I want to help others avoid the same pain.

My father, Mike Rinder’s abuse on my mother was so vivid, it has acted as a scar that never fully heals.

Watching the gouged flesh on my mother’s arm, pouring with blood. Seeing the agony in her eyes. Hearing the moans as a result of her cracked shoulder. All that makes it far too difficult to forget.

Thanks to my friends and their support, I have been strong enough to stand up and to help my mom and to work to heal the lasting wounds.

From someone who has experienced the effects of domestic abuse with my mother, I can tell you how vital it is to look out for domestic abuse your friends may have experienced.

Anyone who goes through the kind of domestic abuse, my father, Mike Rinder, viciously inflicted on my mother, resulting in bodily harm, irreparable physical damage and requiring surgery—such a victim deserves help and support.

See your friends and find out how they are doing and succor them when they need it, even if they have too much pride to ask. It’s just a fact that women have good instincts about such things. So trust your instincts.

Be there. Offer help. Stand up for them.

Together we will rid this world of domestic abuse.

Thank you.

This is Taryn with Justice4mom.

My Birthday Wishes 2020

Today is my birthday!

So I’m celebrating it most especially because last year on my birthday, just shortly after I blew out my candles actually, A&E and Disney stopped supporting my abusive father. That was my wish last year and they made it come true. So thank you for that! My father is an abusive man. His name is Mike Rinder and he brutally attacked my mother and has no shame, no regrets—nothing—for what he did. Happily, justice has been served. And so this year, for 2020, my goal and my birthday wish is that across the globe we end the support that men who domestically abuse women are given. I celebrate this birthday with my Mom who gave birth to me and my brother and she raised us on her own. And so for that, I thank her and I support her with all my will. Thank you for being here with me on my birthday and let’s make 2020 the best year we ever had. Here’s to Birthday wishes coming true! #2020NoAbuse
