Episode 29 - My Story of Domestic Abuse: Part 2
This is part 2 of 2 of my domestic abuse story. We left off last episode where the violence was just beginning. If you missed the last episode, go back and check that out first before listening to this one. A reminder about the trigger warning: violence, sexual abuse, alcoholism, self-harm and mention of suicide. This episode gets a lot heavier as my ex begins to get more abusive. There are some moments where he gets his comeuppance however which is satisfying to hear.
