Friends and neighbors, I'd like to thank you for welcoming my family with open arms… but you didn't.

I moved to the suburbs because I bought into the dream: community, prosperity, and most of all safety. But I never felt safe here, judged from day one for my past, my body, how I was raising my child.

If I wasn't perfect, I would lose it all — a game so rigged that it would only exist in a world that hates women, especially mothers. But what choice did I have? So I played, and I realize that your fence, your doorbell cam, you tell yourself you're keeping your family safe but it's a lie. You're too afraid to do what you need to do to really protect your own.

I am not a coward, I do what has to be done to protect my family: I killed the adulterer next door. I killed the anti-vaxxer who sickened my child, hunted down the reporter who threatened us. I trapped the couple who tried to sabotage us, forced them to really see each other. I forced my husband to play along... but in the end, he was a coward too.

And when I realized he had come to hate me, I killed him. Better than a messy divorce. Everybody keeps their dignity.

When the shock wears off and you feel safe jogging in your expensive athleisurewear again, remember: you can get off the hamster wheel at any time.
