"I KNEW I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY CASE"

For the last few day’s CNN and other news media have been discussing the cover up in regards to Rob Porter and how he abused his first and second wife.  The horrible truth about domestic violence or any abuse, many who are in power continue to protect the abuser instead of helping the survivor.

It will be eight years in June when I decided to release my book and I knew the risk I would be taking and how many would attack me.  During many of my interviews on radio, television, I even did a play but my voice did go on deaf ears.

 

At the time my book was released I was in a legal battle against the retired State Trooper Anthony Suber for the abuse I suffered by his hands, I confided in this horrible man!  My ex-husband Keith R. Sadler caused me my first retinal detachment.  

This horrible ex trooper caused me my second retinal detachment.

I knew with every part of my soul I was not going to win this case, you see Diane Wetendorf Advocate Against Domestic Violence, was quite honest and said “You will lose, they never go against any police.”  As I sat in the court room with so much sorrow but I remember Diane’s words and she was right.

 

When the jury did not find the trooper liable for my injuries I have lost all faith in the justice system.  My attorney Robert Vance tried to appeal my case, he texted me and said the judge had sabotage my case. 

I recall a city council woman telling me why Keith never became Police Commissioner for Philadelphia Police Department, many knew of the abuse I had suffered by his hands.

 

When the time is right I will reveal the names of those who approached me and said they knew.

To all my strong survivors, be safe all of you, we still have a difficult road ahead.

“I AM YOUR REMINDER OF THE ABUSE OF THE PAST”

Many survivors of Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence/Domestic Violence physical abuse heal and you can no longer see the past scars but only the survivor knows of their scars.  I now walk with a seeing eye Cain.  I never go out at night because I cannot see.  Yesterday at 6:00 PM I accompanied my daughter to Franklin Town Charter High School, so she could speak to the Board of Trustees.  There are no lights!!!  If any lights they were coming from the inside of the buildings.  I could not see anything but…I let my Cain guide me and as I walked and I prayed with each step.

I hear from my children how wonderful their father is doing now at the State Attorney’s General Office.  I pray for him (Keith R. Sadler.)  Your denial and the retired State Trooper Anthony E. Suber denial of the damage you both have caused me at times does open up my past wounds but…. I am a reminder of the abuse I suffered by your hands, I am sure watching me walk with a seeing I Cain does not make any of my children feel better or maybe they wished it would go away?  I thank our Great Spirit each day for his strength and his guidance he has given me.

So, to my children, I cannot change or erase the physical damage your father has caused me but I want you to know that I will always be a reminder of the damage he and that state trooper has caused to my vision.

Be bless always,

"MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD"

Just like many Republicans, I feel our PA State Attorney General does not vet his people. You will not have my vote. The next time you run for office, I will be that voice who will remind you of, the injustice that has happened to me. I will not allow you or anyone else to keep me silent. Every chance I get, I will remind those in power to do their JOB!!

WHY DID SO MANY IGNORE THE CRIES

This was wrong, no matter how you look at it, it was wrong. Now, I am a survivor of Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence. Many politicians here in Philadelphia, PA knew my ex was beating me which caused me retinal detachment. Fearing for my safety, I ran to another town, thinking I would be safe, well guess again. I am now visually impaired and I walk with a Cain. None of my abuser were ever held accountable for the damage they caused me....I applauded Senator Franken for holding himself accountable. I wish my ex husband Keith R. Sadler and retired State Trooper Anthony E. Suber would do the same as Senator Franken did. Be bless and be safe my warriors.

Thank you,

RESPECT THE MARRIAGE

Through my first marriage I went through so much unhappiness. I tried with every part of my soul to be accepted by Keith's family.

God I helped his grandmother Margie who made it very clear to me that my race (Puerto Rican's) were the low lives of all low lives; I cleaned up her shit, yes I said it shit.

Keith nor his mother Mercedes were no where to be found. I dropped everything to go help his grandmother. I did this for the love I have in my heart. Now here I am in a second marriage and all I ask is for respect. To all my family and friends, when you take a wife or a husband, they come first then your family. It does not mean you do not love your siblings, it means your wife or husband come first.
