This podcast is about how to navigate leaving your abuser safely, what to expect when you leave, your options, the hurdles, and the hope for a new life. Hopefully this podcast will make your journey less frightening and empower you to finally live a life that is yours.
We will not be dissecting the abuser in this podcast. This podcast is about survival. When I left my abuser, I made many mistakes. I am hoping that through my journey and the journey of others you will find strength.
I will help you learn what options are out there, what to expect, what to avoid, most importantly the knowledge you have the ability to leave and create a new life. You are stronger than you know. Each step you take along this journey will show you that you are capable, smart, and sane.
Generally, it takes a Survivor seven times leaving their abuser before leaving for good. I know the times I returned it was because I was scared, I did not think I could do it, I did not want to lose my home, and I did not think I was strong or worthy enough. Finally, I realized I could leave. I could make it on my own, and I have now for a year.
Stay safe, be smart, and survive.
