December 1, 2025 was the last time I had my child and our brand new house we worked so very hard to get to. On thanksgiving he told me he wanted to stay with mommy forever.

I have been searching for answers since I was a small kid when things just didn’t feel right. My body was failing me and my periods were absolutely awful my first period sent me home and I remember going home and hiding it. Ashamed that it was so painful thinking oh everybody must feel like this so it’s totally normal.
That was middle early 2000.
Yesterday, I finally got the news i’ve always known I was going to hear.
I’m finally ready to admit that my body has been at war with the big C. Just as my Grammy and her sisters, my auntie and her daughters, my other auntie and her ti***es.
The healthcare system in America has failed so many women. So many women of every color, Creed and background. It has failed me and my son. And I will not sit idly by and thousands of calls are made across this ‘nation’ from abused and battered people asking… pleading and begging for protection, only to end up on the news.
I’m saddened by the fact that my chronic illnesses have put me in places where I have only been taken advantage of. My people, places and most importantly by people whose love will never fit my definition of the word.
I’m hopeful for our future, realizing and accepting that I am a good person. I am a good mom and nobody saying otherwise will do a damn thing because my little boy will always say…
“mommy don’t go”
That’s enough, and always will be.
I am accepting donations to my GoFundMe, which you can find by searching Kassidee Quaranta. I am also accepting donations via Venmo -quaranta.
Domestic abuse never ends, it is inherited and unless to blow the whistle, unless you take the pain and swallow it with pride, there is no way out. And that is a fact.

As the northern winds get swirled here in Lawrence, KS with the turning of the tides, I’ll be home peacefully, waiting as the snow accumulates and brings the silence I have needed and wanted.
