WHEN DATING HURTS

• 290. Michael Clark - Pt 2 of 2 - More about His Transformation from a DV Offender

  This story comes with trigger warning about domestic violence with an emphasis on physical violence. This is part two of two. This was recorded when we rejoined Michael Clark for another chat about all he has experienced. Michael is the founder and Executive Director of the Ananias Foundation. This is an organization committed to ending domestic violence at its roots by working with those who have caused harm. Michael has supported thousands of individuals seeking to break free from abusive behavior by offering guidance and hope for change. What makes Michael Clark so distinct? He is a former domestic violence offender himself. He has transformed himself, and now he writes, speaks, and leads from his hard-earned perspective. This story will tell us about his journey, his books, and more. Here are important links that are discussed in this story: • ⁠⁠Ananias Foundation⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠Michael Clark Author⁠⁠ • Michael's two books: ⁠⁠From Villain to Hero⁠⁠ ⁠⁠The Truth About You⁠⁠ Michael Clark went from villain to hero himself. It's one thing to stop being an offender. It's another two to let his past become public. For Michael, this was a remarkable transformation. We hope you find his story inspirational.

• 288. "Lily" - Pt 2 of 2 Pts - Survivor of Gaslighting and Despicable Abuse

  The mission of this podcast is to allow survivors of dating abuse and domestic violence to speak their truth about what they experienced. We do this with very little editorial censorship. This survivor story comes with warnings about severe physical violence. The depictions are disturbing and can be triggering to some listeners. In part two, of this two-part story with Lily and Sam. At this point in this toxic relationship, Lily needs to move out of the house she was renting. Although she avoided moving in with Sam at his home, she now feels she has to do this. The consequences of living with this man are distressing to hear about. It is impossible to understand how someone could become so cruel. Especially to someone they claim they love. When listening to the story, you may be tempted to judge Lily for the unfortunate choices she made. But, having listened to many of these stories, I urge you to keep in mind that abusive offenders are predators and, over time, they become masters of manipulation over their prey. Lily was caught up in something she did not recognize for what it was. This is Lily's story -- part two of two parts.

• 286. Roxie - Part 3 of 3 Pts - Three Women Damaged by the Same Offender

  This episode of WHEN DATING HURTS includes warnings and disclaimers. Within this three-part story, there are descriptions with adult language, vaping, emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and several attempted suicides. This podcast never intends to be sensational. The truth about dating abuse and domestic violence is needed as a warning to you learn all you can about this subject so it never hurts you or those you care about. If you have not heard Kayla's two-part story, (WHEN DATING HURTS episodes 281 and 283), I urge you to do so before listening to this episode. In Kayla's story, (episode 281) we learn she was was an offender's fourth consecutive victim. She helps set up what you will hear in this episode and episodes (284 and 285). This series illustrates how an offender often moves from one victim to the next. The common thread in all of these narratives? Richard. What this serial offender managed to do in his despicable campaign is severely damage the lives of a long list of innocent women. This is part three of a three-part series. It is Roxie's story. Be sure to also listen to part one (Patricia, episode 284), and part two (Briana, episode 285). These were published on the same day so you are able to hear them without waiting for releases.
