To turn your pain into power, your struggles into growth and your journey into a testament of resilience. Trigger Warnings: Domestic Violence Awareness, Mental Health Awareness and Infidelity This episode is about the phrase or questions, "Why didn't you leave" vs "What made it difficult to leave?" There is a huge difference in the questions you ask a survivor. Be careful of your choice words, questions and judgement. One phrase verses the other can be a lifeline that survivors need. This podcast is a look into the question "What made it difficult to leave."
