“I suffered through over 25 years of emotional, spiritual and verbal abuse. And in listening to your podcast it has helped give me the courage to leave.
When you talked about how there can be a time when someone’s heart has been turned off towards their partner and that helped me so much to see that this had most definitely happened to me.
But the “time to yourself episode”, WOW, now that I’ve been out for about 2 months and just at 2 weeks of no contact, I listened to this episode. I was never allowed to do anything without my husband being with me or he’d have hurt feelings. But he’d also hyperventilate and cry if I had to go out of town, to see my mother with Alzheimer’s . It was extreme!! After I’ve now left he has been baker acted 3 times, once voluntarily and twice against his will. So it escalated even more after I left. I was extremely isolated and controlled in my marriage. And it’s still surreal that I got out. But I’m growing and healing. The work you do here is beautiful.
You are changing lives. Mine being one of them.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
