Summary

Mandy Lynn discovered her husband was cheating on her with a much younger woman and left him. When she moved out her husband showed up to her new apartment, trapped her inside, and assaulted her for hours. After he was arrested, Mandy Lynn was granted a protective order against him, and then his new girlfriend attempted to imitate details of Mandy Lynn's life - buying an identical motorcycle to hers, dressing like her, and mirroring her style and poses in Instagram photos. She began stalking Mandy Lynn in person by following her into places and driving past her apartment, blaring her horn. Mandy Lynn began dating again and felt confident enough to post a picture of her new boyfriend on Instagram...but her stalker sent him a friend request and DM'd him. Now Mandy Lynn uses her education and experience in social work, domestic violence victim advocacy, and identifying personality disorders to help others dealing with the same type of issues.

0:00.0	May is mental health awareness month, but the truth is we need to focus on mental health all year round.
0:05.2	I absolutely recommend ToxBase for Therapy. I like it because it's really affordable.

0:27.2	Domestic stocking is a relationship that you have within the household.
0:33.4	Living arrangement could be a significant other, an intimate partner, family member.
0:38.3	What we see a lot is it starts out with domestic violence and then it turns into something
0:42.9	completely disturbing. So I think in Mandy's case, her ex-husband basically groomed the new
0:49.7	girlfriend to become Mandy, take the same abuse, react the same way, dress the same, look the same,
0:55.6	and the new girlfriend went along with it.
0:58.1	She'd gone through the process of mirroring down to the poses that Mandy performed in her social media

1:15.5	life a living hell. Social media factors in to Mandy's case a lot because everything that Mandy puts
1:22.0	out there, this new girlfriend is copying. So whatever you put out there is free reign and
1:28.1	somebody like this new girlfriend can easily start copying.
1:31.5	And actually going after Mandy's sponsors, going after the brands that Mandy has lines
1:36.6	with, she ultimately knows that she's trying to bring embarrassment at the very least or at the
1:43.2	very most trying to replicate and destroy any relationships that Mandy has in the social media world.
