Episode 28 - My Story of Domestic Abuse: Part 1
I want to talk about domestic abuse today and my experience with it. I was in an abusive relationship for over 2 years and I feel compelled to tell my story in detail in part because domestic violence is at critical levels with the lockdowns. A massive trigger warning on this episode, I talk about: emotional abuse, violence, sexual abuse, alcoholism, financial abuse, forced dieting and mentions of food, very brief mention of a pedophile and rape. Please skip this episode if you think this could trigger you.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL HEAR:
In case anyone is listening and experiencing domestic abuse my story might help you and even if you've never been in an abusive relationship I'm sure you'll take something away from my story
I learned a lot about what a relationship looks like from my parents and so when I started being abused it didn't seem out of the ordinary
In this episode, I have mentioned how I met my 30-year-old abusive ex-boyfriend and the circumstance happened to make me lived with him.
Being in that relationship, I developed an eating disorder as he controlled what I ate.
