  • Unlistenable

    Wow, I really like the stories, but having an unexperienced and untrained person tell their story in a narrative fashion is unlistenable for me. The narrator almost always goes off track, gives details that are not necessary, does not provide adequate background information, all leading to a story that should be sympathetic, but it is actually just frustrating to listen to. I wish the host would jump in like they do on Betrayal to add context or move the story along!

  • Empowering & Relatable

    Hearing other people’s stories of overcoming trauma and abuse, is educating and hopefully helpful for those who are going through similar experiences, so they can find their way out. For me, it reminds me of what I have overcome and how I’m better for it. Maybe one day I’ll feel up to reaching out and telling my story. Thanks for giving these people a voice!

  • Propaganda no ty

    Love the show but not listening to Lynn talk about murdering her unborn baby and justify her making stupid decisions like unprotected sex, pull out method, blame him for control, and etc. Abortion is certainly a tool for women in desperate situations but as a form of birth control so you can get your ho on, no. Grow up. Disgusting.

    So frustrated by this episode - you didn’t break up with a psycho with a gun because you didn’t want to be alone at Christmas?? I mean, this isn’t 1975. I almost can believe she had zero sense of self preservation. Not sure I can bear to listen to stories like this. Omg. First sign - get. out.
