He’s definitely not 26. He has college aged kids.

The source is her directly to me (and several other reporters.) Assuming you will probably see in a story in another outlet soon.

I hope the investigation uncovers the truth, justice is served through the legal process, and healing can begin for everyone affected. end

My family deserves privacy, compassion, and the chance to move forward without fear. My thoughts remain with the victims, their loved ones, and every family whose lives have been forever changed by these events./

We did not choose this situation, and we should not be judged, threatened, harassed, or defined by someone else’s alleged actions. My children deserve the opportunity to grow up without carrying the weight of circumstances they did not create. /

then sharing my story has served a purpose. I also ask that people remember something very important. David Brouillette is the individual involved in the criminal case that is currently under investigation. I am not. Our children are not. My family is not. /

I know firsthand how difficult it is to speak up when you fear retaliation or believe no one will listen. If my experience encourages even one person to seek help, or encourages one person, one agency, or one court to take those warning signs more seriously/

If there is one thing I hope comes from sharing my experience, it is that patterns of abuse, coercive control, intimidation, and manipulation are recognized and taken seriously before they escalate. /

This statement is not about speculating on the events currently under investigation or influencing the outcome of any criminal case. It is about sharing my own lived experience and explaining why I carried these concerns for so many years. /

While I cannot speak for anyone else’s experiences, hearing similar accounts has reinforced that I was not alone in what I experienced. /

For many years, I questioned whether anyone would believe what I had experienced. Seeing others with firsthand knowledge now come forward publicly has been deeply validating. /

My purpose in making this statement is not to relitigate those proceedings, but to explain my own experience and why I carried these concerns for so long. /

The concerns I describe here are not new. They were raised over many years through family court proceedings, reports to law enforcement, and communications with the Department of Health and Human Services. Those proceedings span years and are matters of public record. /

because I genuinely feared where those behaviors could lead. From my perspective, those warnings did not receive the attention I believed they deserved. Feeling unheard while continuing to fear retaliation was one of the most isolating experiences of my life. /

Throughout the years, I brought my concerns to law enforcement, the courts, and the Department of Health and Human Services. I tried to explain what I believed was a long-standing pattern of abuse, intimidation, manipulation, and controlling behavior /

Whether those statements reflected reality or were intended to intimidate me, they contributed to an environment of fear that made it even harder for me to believe I could safely stand up to him. /

David often spoke to me about his military intelligence background and the specialized skills he believed it gave him. He frequently portrayed himself as someone who could manipulate people, deceive others, and stay in control of difficult situations. /

That fear influenced countless decisions I made, including when and how I reported what I was experiencing. Even now, I fear speaking the truth of my experiences will lead to retaliation. /
