Episode 11: Coercive Control, Cassie’s Testimony, and Breaking Away from Abusive Relationships

If you’ve been listening to our podcast from the beginning, then you know that our co-host Lulu has been in an abusive relationship before. It was devastating and incredibly confusing to go through at the time. Now that it’s been a few years, Lulu is ready to talk about just how abusive this relationship was and how she finally ended it once and for all. And this topic isn’t just about straight romantic relationships! This kind of abuse happens everywhere - in gay relationships, between friends, and even between family members. Abusers are behaving this way because they want control. It’s not your fault it happened, but it is your responsibility to get out of it. And this week, we’re going to talk about how you can do just that. In this week’s episode, we’ll be talking about coercive control, Cassie’s testimony, and how Lulu broke free from abusive relationships. Abusers want to confuse you, isolate you, and make them the most important person in their world. But they’ll do it so sneakily that most of the time you won’t see it coming. We’re hoping that by sharing our story, you’ll be able to catch the red flags early and get out before it’s too late.Enjoy!
