My beautiful Jayden Reeanna Parkinson.
You were only 17 when your life was cruelly taken from you in Didcot in 2013. You were still so young, with so much life ahead of you, and you were carrying your precious baby. There were so many dreams, plans and memories that should have been yours to make.
I still find myself remembering the little things about you—the things that might seem small to other people, but mean everything to me.
I remember how you used to ask me to draw little faces of a family on the bottom of my toes, and then you would talk to them.
I can still picture you doing it, and sometimes those memories make me smile through the tears because that was you. Those little moments are treasures I will carry with me forever.
You were also the girl everyone would go to when they needed help. You had such a caring heart. People knew they could turn to you, and you would be there for them. You cared about other people, sometimes putting their needs before your own.
That was the beautiful person you were, Jayden.
You weren't just a name or a headline. You were my daughter.
You were a young girl with a whole future ahead of her, and a mum-to-be who should have had the chance to know her baby and watch that child grow.
I wonder so often what you would be like now. What you would look like. What you would be doing. What kind of mum you would have been. I wonder about all the birthdays, Christmases and ordinary days we should have shared. There are so many questions that will never have answers, and a hole in my heart that can never truly be filled.
But I will never let you be forgotten.
I will keep saying your name.
I will keep telling people about the girl who loved to talk to the little faces on my toes, the girl people turned to when they needed help, the girl who had so much love to give.
Jayden, you should have had a lifetime.
Instead, you left this world far too soon.
But you will always have a place in mine.
You are loved.
You are missed.
You are remembered.
And you will always be my beautiful daughter.
Forever 17. Forever my girl. Forever in my heart.
Love you always and forever,
Mum ❤️

Read my new article "Explaining Coercive Control to People Who Don't Quite Get It". https://dremmakatz.substack.com/p/explaining-coercive-control-to-people-cef There are so many common and harmful myths about coercive control that are held by “the public” - by a large number of people in society.

This post puts all the most important information in one place - it’s my hope that readers might be able to show this post to someone in their life who doesn’t quite understand coercive control, and that it might be eye opening for people who previously haven’t read much around this subject but who are willing to learn about it now.

In this post I’ll break down:
- How do we define what coercive control is?
- What are the tactics of coercive controllers? And in what ways can serious abuse happen with little or no physical violence?
- What’s the best way of explaining coercive control perpetrators' motivations?
- What's behind perpetrators’ choice of punishments?
- Does coercive control have a timeline? And if so what are the stages of coercive control?

The post argues that physical violence is just one tree in a whole forest of tactics - this being the kind of scary forest you might find in a horror film.

Survivors are subjugated, prevented from exercising their human rights, and punished repeatedly for wanting to have normal levels of freedom and autonomy.

Perpetrators do not just directly control the victim-survivor; they also spend years manipulating the victims'-survivors' family, friends, neighbors, and community members to make them think that the victim-survivor is troubled, unstable, and generally not to be trusted - often behind the victim’s-survivor’s back.

The perpetrator's ultimate objective is to keep the victim-survivor in a demoralized and terrorized state, bringing her under complete control by forcing her into submission, and will use any means at their disposal to do so.

In the whispers of twilight, she lingers still
A heart of gold wrapped in dreams unfulfilled
Seventeen summers with laughter that glows
Yet fate's cold shadow where love never shows.

A mother to be, embraced by the night
Unseen is the child—both fragile and bright
Her laughter echoes in halls left so bare
The world feels dimmer; it's simply not fair.

Each tear that we shed, a blossom of grief
Each moment remembered brings fleeting relief
Jayden, oh Jayden, we miss you each day
Your spirit like sunlight will never decay

So here’s to the girl with a love pure and strong
In memories cherished, forever belong.

Generated but prompted by the information given, makes it the perfect poem for a life took too soon. G x

If I ever become rich enough to own a yacht or something posh, I'll name it after Jayden in a heartbeat... Why? She deserves it a million times over, just my humble but blunt and unfiltered opinion. G x
