about me

Ophelia is the name I write under, but this space isn’t really about me.
It’s about what happens when men are never held accountable and what happens when women finally start telling the truth.

My purpose is simple:
To name the patterns.
To stop normalizing them.
To break the generational trauma that tells women to stay quiet, be nice, and carry the blame for men’s behavior.

I write about Chads and Brads, the narcissists, the “nice guys,” the cheaters, the love bombers, the emotionally unavailable ones who swear they’re trying because their choices don’t just affect one relationship. They ripple into our kids, our bodies, our bank accounts, our self-worth, and the next generation watching.

This isn’t a man-hating project.
This is an accountability project.

I use a pen name to protect my family’s privacy, but I refuse to protect the patterns that hurt women and confuse our daughters. I’m here to call things what they are so the women who can’t speak yet feel less alone and so the girls growing up now won’t have to untangle the same damage later.

One story at a time, I’m holding Chads and Brads accountable, and cutting off the cycle right where it tried to continue: with us.
