This wasn’t an isolated incident.
Over the past 8 months, I have received a series of threatening, blackmailing, and defamatory emails, all of which have been meticulously documented. These aren’t just personal attacks — they are part of a coordinated effort by an entire family operating with a shared mindset. Not one grounded in truth, dignity, or compassion — but one rooted in control, image protection, and greed.
Every email, every veiled threat, every juvenile insult has been logged — by the Guardia Civil, the Central Department of Women’s Protection in Dénia (Central Mujer Ilegal Dept), my legal team, and two trauma-informed psychologists. These are not emotional overreactions or exaggerations — they are documented patterns of abuse and coercive control.
Their collective behavior paints a crystal-clear picture: this is not about justice for them. It is about intimidation, discrediting, and emotional destabilization before I can tell the truth in a court of law. It’s about trying to silence a survivor who finally found her voice.
But here’s the thing: I’m not fighting to prove anything to people who have already chosen cruelty over conscience. I’m standing in my truth, and I know that justice — real justice — begins when truth is spoken aloud.
🧠The Psychology of Collusive Abuse: No Moral Compass, Just Greed
When entire families or groups align around an abusive individual, we see what’s called collective narcissism — a dynamic where the group defends and enables the abuser not out of love, but out of a need to protect their shared ego, reputation, or financial interests.
Psychologically, this often involves:
- Groupthink: Where individual morality is overridden by loyalty to the group narrative.
- Moral disengagement: Where empathy is suspended in favor of justifying harm — often under the guise of “family loyalty” or “saving face.”
- Dehumanization: Where the victim is painted not as a person, but as a problem to be silenced or destroyed.
These individuals show no moral compass, no empathy, and no integrity — only a desire to preserve power at any cost.
🧠Neuroscience: Why They Attack, and Why It Doesn’t Work Anymore
From a neuroscience perspective, these defamatory emails and threats are designed to provoke a trauma response in me. When we are attacked or shamed, our amygdala — the part of the brain responsible for detecting threats — becomes highly activated. It triggers the sympathetic nervous system, flooding our body with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.
This reaction can:
- Undermine our ability to think clearly (prefrontal cortex shut-down)
- Trigger anxiety, fear, or self-doubt
- Cause physical symptoms like nausea, rapid heartbeat, or dissociation
They want this. That’s the point. They want you dysregulated. They want your brain offline when you walk into court.
But here’s what they didn’t count on:
👉 I’ve done the work.
👉 I have a trauma-informed team around me.
👉 I understand my nervous system now.
👉 And I know how to regulate, re-center, and rise.
Their tactics don’t work anymore.
✨ The Truth Needs No Defence
I am not fighting just an individual. I am standing against an entire system of dysfunction and denial — where reputation matters more than character, and image is defended with more passion than truth.
But here’s what I know deep in my bones:
When you tell the truth, justice reveals the rest.
No matter how many people rally against you — the truth doesn’t shake.
No matter how many defamatory emails arrive — my story still stands.
No matter how loud their laughter — my peace is louder.
To anyone facing coordinated cruelty: you are not alone, and you are not crazy. You are being targeted because you had the courage to break the cycle. Let the threats come. Let the lies be exposed. Let the system watch. Because when the truth is finally spoken — and heard — it becomes the most powerful force in the room.
