  • Love the content, but….

    So glad you removed the three episodes about the “reformed” domestic abuser - I wouldn’t even listen to them because we KNOW they don’t change.

    Also, you need a better editor!!! There are so many parts repeated or out of order, on so many episodes, that it makes it hard to follow. The most recent episode just ends abruptly, mid sentence!!

    So annoying - but I do love the content and can relate to a lot of these survivor’s stories.

  • Oddly Comforting and Very Important to Educate All of Us

    I can’t remember how I found this podcast, but it’s been healing for me to hear so many others’ stories. I think I find a bit (or more than a bit) of myself in every episode. It is such a worthy project. Super job.

  • Healing

    This podcast has been very healing for me as a survivor myself. Even after being out for 3 years I still question if it was abusive and man listening to these stories makes me realize 100% that it was. It’s important for victims to know they are not alone. Thanks❤️

  • The laughter

    I’m two episodes in (starting from newer episodes) and all of the laughter from the guests when describing this is distracting. Maybe it’s nervous laughter, or embarrassing recounting these memories.

  • Eye opening

    I heard your story on “what was that like.” I’d like to say that I’ve never been in an abusive relationship but I do not believe that is the case. I was raised by my dad, throwing hay bales, steer wrestling and being the son he never had. Thus far, I’ve been able to stand toe to toe with anyone I’ve ever dated if I had to. I believe because of my upbringing my chapter ended way different than most. That doesn’t negate the fact that I did, in fact, physically fight my way out of it. I never once... more
