Artwork for Love and Abuse

Latest Episodes

The emotionally abusive relationship can sometimes be hard to define. How long must abusive behavior go on before actually admit that what's really happening is abuse?

How do you know when it’s time to instigate a split? If your partner’s behavior leaves you feeling oppressed and defeated, and they refuse to change, and they also don't want to end the relationship, then what?

Breadcrumbing can be a manipulative way to keep someone in your mind so that you can't fully move forward, keeping you as a pawn in another person's game. In this episode, a person wrote to me talking about their ex, a 13-year breadcrumber!

The way someone talks about their relationship reveals a lot. Abuse victims and perpetrators each have their own language patterns. Knowing these language patterns will help you understand on which side of the fence you're on.

  • Thank You

    For being married for 20 years and my 20th anniversary, we spent being abused by my perpetrator. I was at my wits end. I prayed for God to give me a sign after being up for three days emotionally wrecked, and destroyed, not want to give up but knowing that my health has been destroyed knew there was something that had to be done, it’s time.

    You have my life brighter again and gave me some much needed hope! Paul two the words right out of my mouth, but also made me understand this whole scenario... more

  • I don’t want a fat wife

    I wanted to learn about the silent treatment; the title of the episode. All I heard was a 25 min rant of how much this man did NOT want a fat, unattractive wife and dreaded watching her eat sweets.

    WOW

    No, thank you and goodbye.
