98. "Natalie" - Pt 1 of 2 — Hear it from a Marital Abuse Survivor

Natalie puts her life on full display so others can learn from her missteps. In her late teens, she consistently overlooked warning signs that would have saved her from years trapped in a relationship that never felt right. Her first date with this person could have been enough, but eventually found herself in a marriage that was completely one-sided. Her power and control was being ceded from the start. The power in this interview is seeing how we sometimes put to the side our feelings and allow others dominance over us. You will learn how the passage of time made it increasingly more difficult for Natalie to break free.
