Feeling free
I have been married 18 years. It has always felt so difficult being in my marriage. I always thought it was normal. I grew up with a physically and verbally abusive mother and a sexually abusive step father. When I met my husband I thought I had hit the jackpot. Not too long long into our marriage things got scary. He would complain about how I wasn’t “wifing” correctly. He would compare me to other women at church and point out how they knew how to be a good wife but I didn’t. I could never do anything exactly how he wished it. I started hating myself and begging God to help me be a better wife. I felt like the biggest failure on earth. On the outside he was so nice to everyone. Women would ALWAYS come up to me and tell me how blessed I was to have such an intelligent and caring husband. That only left me feeling more confused. Ten years into our marriage we had a child. I thought that having her would make our marriage and relationship stronger. Things didn’t change. Our daughter is almost nine now and a week ago I found the flying free website. My eyes were opened for the first time in my marriage. It suddenly all made sense but also it all suddenly became real and I realized I was going to have to do something about it and that terrified me like nothing else has before. I just asked for a divorce yesterday and now I don’t want the flame that started inside of me to die and I’m trying to figure out what each next step is so I can finally fly free. This podcast is a Godsend for sure! PLEASE DO IT FOR YOURSELF!! God made you to live a happy life, if you’re in an abusive relationship and no matter what you’ve tried, things don’t change, LEAVE!

For years I thought God made a mistake with me because I just was not the meek quiet woman I thought I was supposed to be. I used to pray constantly that God...Read full review »

Natalie speaks to the heart of so many women whom have been silenced by misuse of scripture by church leaders, community, and spouses to enable hidden emotional and spiritual abuse within the home. I am finally free after many years of suffering, and I am a survivor with the help of Natalie’s...Read full review »
