If I could offer any words of advice/support to younger me, who was experiencing years of IPV: 1. You matter, you have value, & you are worth more than how he makes you feel 2. One day, you will spread your wings 3. Hang on, I see you 4. The shame belongs with him 5. You'll find your place #DVAM

I think university comms folks can be helpful with review/editing! They straddle that line. Lol. And @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social were excellent with that big push for local op-eds penned by scientists to celebrate NIH/NSF funding as massive investment achievements.

And op-eds can feel especially awkward + challenging since the audience is a mixed crowd!

As I am in the "quals-ing pt. two" phase, I decided to take a beat to appreciate the new life I grew inside of me who will be 5 months old tomorrow and the progress I have made with my research, but also feel genuine excitement for what is next in my personal and professional environs.

Way to go @samschuelstein.bsky.social! And way to go @ufhhp.bsky.social for highlighting this important research. We will share this and Sam’s full presentation to the FL National Guard on our lab website—stay tuned—she’s just getting started! #hebproud #domesticviolenceawarenessmonth #advocate

As an IPV survivor and a milspouse, addressing this gap is deeply personal. Thank you to my amazing participants and my advisor, @nmscaglione.bsky.social, for helping me launch this study. I’ll be presenting these findings to the FL National Guard later this month. 💜 #DVAM @ufresearch.bsky.social

In honor of #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, I’m proud to share that my college UF HHP featured my research in UF News! I conducted a pilot study characterizing IPV-related head trauma in military spouses, a population vastly underrepresented in research compared to service members/veterans.

As I transitioned into my doctoral studies, I discovered a massive gap that needed to be addressed through research and advocacy across both of these very distinct, yet interconnected, parts of my identity. This research would not have been possible without my amazing participants.

Sam Goldstein @samschuelstein.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

My husband just retired from the US Navy today, after 20 years of dedicated and honorable service. I was an active duty milspouse for 8 years. And before that, I was with an abusive partner for 4.5 years. I am an IPV survivor.

Sam Goldstein @samschuelstein.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Unrecognized head trauma may be contributing to addtnl, or compounded, adverse health as they navigate interpersonal, social, and structural challenges in this context. They may be referred to as "dependents," but I am here to say they are IN-dependent & prove it day after day, year after year.

100

Sam Goldstein @samschuelstein.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

They have unique health needs during their tenure as milspouses (e.g., trailing spouse or solo parent), & they too deserve prioritized support from mil leadership & just better understanding from those in the civilian world about what they manage regularly (& no, they didn't "choose" this life).

100

Sam Goldstein @samschuelstein.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Milspouses are mission critical! They are constantly pivoting between multiple roles (e.g., parent, primary support person, student, their own careers), and do it very well, yet research only seems to consider their needs as secondary to their Active Duty or Veteran partners.

100

Sam Goldstein @samschuelstein.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This is a population often overlooked and vastly underrepresented in research when compared to service members and Veterans. I will be presenting my findings later this month to the Florida Army Reserve/National Guard in a virtual seminar to support #DVAM.

Congratulations, hon! It may not have always been easy, but I am truly glad you brought me along for the last ~ half of your journey with the military. Super proud of you. Thank you for your service. 🫶🏼

After 20 years of honorable service as a Naval Officer, this amazing man is a civilian again. Can't wait for his first Veterans Day. 🥹😍 I have only been on this ride as his milspouse for the last 8 years, but super proud of him and excited to see what he decides to choose for his next career.

Update: managed to get my 6 YO to his ped check up yesterday morning with the 4 MO tagging along (yay, FluMist!). Also took him to T-Ball practice after school. So all of that meant an overtired 4 MO. Cut to this morning where we got him to school on time (early, in fact)!

And she mentioned she won't publish this research in case bots or AI can find it to train and then force it into extinction. Lol. But it's an ever-evolving and exhausting process, imo. I was glad to stumble across Micah's post because @kiante.bsky.social and @bshev.bsky.social popped up there!

Right?! So one that really opened my eyes (further) was Dr. Emily Dworkin's post on LinkedIn! I was floored. And her findings really reinforced how much human effort is required to play this game of chess with AI to figure out exactly how to prevent it from happening.
