[2017-03-25 18:17:29] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (email) ([email protected]): Oh wow look at this test from yesterday holy shit

[2017-03-26 22:23:00] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): I'm having like a panic attack

[2017-03-26 22:59:50] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): I just need a lot of different shit. Work clothes, travel clothes, casual dressy, techno clothes, yoga clothes. I leave the house a lot.

[2017-03-26 23:04:03] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): I also went to this perfumer in Nolita and got some custom scent made. No more shitty cologne from Bloomies. They. Even let me name it

[2017-03-26 23:31:19] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Emotional abuse is a form of brain-washing that slowly erodes the victim's sense of self-worth, security, and trust in themselves and others. In many ways, it is more detrimental than physical abuse because it slowly disintegrates one's sense of self and personal value.

[2017-03-26 23:31:25] →TARA Arizona Friend (+14803264584): As the phrase goes "like a battered house wife, she keeps coming back for more"

[2017-03-26 23:31:28] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): Emotional abuse is a form of brain-washing that slowly erodes the victim's sense of self-worth, security, and trust in themselves and others. In many ways, it is more detrimental than physical abuse because it slowly disintegrates one's sense of self and personal value.

[2017-03-27 00:43:08] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): But I keep goi back BC of his emotional abuse

[2017-03-27 01:53:31] TARA→ Catherine Cutright (+14152690296): Yeah which is fine, so am I at times, but he needs to get his shit together and go see a psychiatrist

[2017-03-27 04:59:12] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): Issue with jet bridge or some shit

[2017-05-05 03:05:31] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): It just seems like your trying to hurt me, given our discussions this weekend. It's a big jump to be talking about another girlfriend already

[2017-05-05 15:12:56] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): I just can't tell if he is saying all this to hurt me- maybe push me to change even more

[2017-05-12 00:45:14] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Don't have sex with shitty people.

[2017-05-17 20:22:03] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Think about our trip to Arizona, how you make me hysterically laugh at your hitler impersonation, my ridiculous laugh, how I held your hand when you saw things in the at night, how happy you were when I was pregnant both times, how much we love the animals, how wonderful I acted at Peter Thiels part...

[2017-05-18 01:42:13] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): And you fucking left a bunch of your shit everywhere in my apartment

[2017-05-26 02:05:26] →TARA Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): Yeah Mayan has repeatedly been violent with me and the dogs and u still beg him to come over

[2017-05-26 22:49:35] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): The one guy I was sleeping with (which started two weeks after I would have gotten pregnant) I'm no longer talking to because he abused Riley

[2017-05-26 23:54:14] TARA→ Westchester Friend B (+19143277168): Especially if you think Riley is so abused

[2017-05-30 18:46:20] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Your literally having a brat attack

[2017-05-30 23:39:37] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Go call your shitty ex

[2017-06-01 17:09:25] →TARA Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): You talk shit endlessly.

[2017-06-06 21:25:25] TARA→ Contact #0 (None): She's a real shit talker

[2017-06-18 20:17:44] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Stop being so insane please

[2017-06-18 20:23:53] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): I don't know if it's because your mentally ill or just a spoiled brat, but acting like this is unacceptable

[2017-06-18 23:57:03] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph1) (+14156019897): Your never going to get what you want if you block me- your being crazy just stop it

[2017-07-02 19:19:21] TARA→ Westchester Friend A (+19147742351): I could beat the shit out of you

[2017-07-27 20:57:37] TARA→ Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): Steve just came into the room and yelled the architect is coming then you are going back to ny

[2017-12-19 20:53:02] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): And I'm tied to this shitty guy for the rest of my life. It fucking sucks

[2018-01-01 23:03:29] TARA→ Therapist/Counselor (+15165079061): Ok he left but I can text him that- I just feel like I was emotionally hit by a truck right now.

[2018-01-05 19:50:36] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Honestly the reason I want a bigger place and even an assistant is Steve- he has so much shit here and it makes me really anxious. Also we have no formal plan on how often he can be here once she is born.

[2018-01-05 22:21:43] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Not anymore! He's been a really shitty friend

[2018-01-12 22:40:23] TARA→ NYC Friend C (+19179160439): Yeah exactly- I'm scared shitless though

[2018-01-18 20:21:59] TARA→ NYC Friend AU (+19174129864): But I'm pretty much planning on being a single mom if he can't get his shit together

[2018-01-23 22:15:51] TARA→ Arizona Friend (+14803264584): Duh. I honestly feel like I was hit by a mega truck I'm so exhausted

[2018-01-24 23:47:16] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): I can't accept any threat of violent behavior

[2018-01-24 23:47:49] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): He's normally not violent but he did scare me a little- he got up in my face

[2018-02-01 21:59:00] →TARA NYC Friend C (+19179160439): Ha yeah shit like that happens all the time.

[2018-02-01 21:59:23] TARA→ NYC Friend C (+19179160439): But then Brie blew up and said I'm a disaster and I'm taking her down with me- then I heard her hysterically crying to doctor saying I'm mentally ill, I've totally exhausted her ECT. But she can't do that shit- she also complained to my psychiatrist last week I was seeing Steve

[2018-02-01 23:35:47] TARA→ NYC Friend C (+19179160439): I feel like she abuses me honestly

[2018-02-01 23:36:14] TARA→ NYC Friend C (+19179160439): She's done some fucked up shit to me

[2018-02-02 00:14:47] →TARA Brienne Walsh (phone) (+16467971407): You need to get your shit together and you cannot blame me for any of this

[2018-02-20 18:26:57] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): But seriously go ahead and hurt Evie- hurt me as well. Act in a way that is unforgivable even more. We both deserve better

[2018-02-20 19:39:20] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Steve is probably full of energy, spending loads of money and I'm here feeling like I got hit by a bus, taking care of his daughter and counting my dollars- it's not fair. He literally tortured me while I was pregnant- I couldn't sleep or eat, it was horrible- it was the worst time of my life. He st...

[2018-02-20 19:56:23] TARA→ Stephen Russell (Ph2) (+14159993944): I feel like I've been hit by an emotional bus I'm exhausted- I just want to be happy and feel safe.

[2018-02-23 19:54:09] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): Now he won't pay for the half of the nightnurse- I agreed to come. Now I am furious again- he's not even willing to come here to help transport her- she has a really bad cough and I'm worried about her. Should I just neglect her and focus on packing up my things? He is being a real jerk, now I don't...

[2018-02-23 20:05:44] TARA→ Mom&Dad (Walsh) (+15207305539): I don't want to make things ugly but he is pushing me too far- it's enough- it's abuse. I can't take it anymore

[2018-03-04 03:53:11] TARA→ NYC Friend F (+16464012064): I got hit with exhaustion going to sleep for a bit
