Send us Fan MailIn Episode 5 of Solo and Sovereign, we move beyond theory and into reality—exploring what actually happens when someone reaches out for help in a high-risk domestic violence situation.Following our previous discussion on the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), this episode breaks down the coordinated response system that often unfolds behind the scenes. From the immediate role of law enforcement, to the critical work of domestic violence advocates, to the life-saving support provided by emergency shelters—this is a look at how safety is built in real time.Through a powerful personal story, I share what it looked like to leave with my children—not in chaos, but through careful planning, trusted support, and coordinated action. What may appear on the surface as a sudden escape is often the result of quiet, strategic alignment between multiple systems working together.This episode highlights: The three key entry points to support: law enforcement, advocates, and shelters  How risk is assessed and translated into actionable safety plans  What emergency shelter placement really looks like  The difference between surviving in crisis and leaving with structure  Why the safest exits often happen before the situation reaches its peak We also talk about the reality many don’t see—the hidden layers of survival, the people who step in, and the systems that must align at the right moment.If you’re wondering where to begin, you’re not alone. Resources are available, and support exists.📞 National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.) Call: 1-800-799-7233 Text: START to 88788 Online: thehotline.orgAdvocates are available 24/7 to help you safety plan, understand your options, and connect with local resources.If this episode resonates, consider sharing it.

Send us Fan MailToday the girls discuss IVP which stands for Intimate Partner Violence. They both discover that the abuse they went thru was more violent when they became pregnant and then had their children. Looking at other DV cases there is a pattern of the jealousy of one partner not getting the attention the children are. Next, they discuss that Ford announced they have the patent and making cars that pretty much are going to control what you can do and cannot do, Yikes keep those old cars running. Ginger has had tech issues with Facebook messenger, Arlo camera not updating, HP printer acting up not wanting to prin, and her Rav4 not displaying incoming text messages.

Send us Fan MailIn this Episode Marie explores how the Lethality Assessment Program identifies danger in intimate partner violence—recognizing patterns, spotting high‑risk situations, and connecting people to immediate, life‑saving help. National LAP lethality assessmentThe Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) is a national initiative aimed at preventing domestic violence homicides and serious injuries. It provides a standardized, evidence-based lethality assessment instrument and accompanying referral protocol that helps first responders identify victims of domestic violence who are at the highest risk of being seriously injured or killed by their intimate partners. The LAP connects these victims with critical safety tools and services, ensuring they receive immediate support and safety planning. The program has been validated as a "supported intervention" by the Centers for Disease Control’s Continuum of Evidence Effectiveness and is recognized as a "promising practice" by the U.S. Department of Justice. https://www.nsvrc.org/sarts/toolkit/5-7/#:~:text=Assessing%20Risk%20FactoSupport the showPlease like, subscribe, download, rate and review .
