Nichole: You deserve better

Nichole called in today with her story of domestic abuse. Her relationship started out without any signs that anything could go wrong… in fact she was long time friends with her soon to be boyfriend. However gradually things began to change and it started with a slap. From there things got a lot worse until Nichole found herself in a place that she would never have imagined for herself. She became more isolated until one day she decided that she did not deserve to be stuck in an abusive relationship. She wants anyone who is in a bad relationship where they are suffering abuse to know that you deserve better and to have faith in themselves. You can move on with your life when you are ready. When the time is right you will know when to get out of the relationship. Know your value and you are valuable.
