  • Love it! (Volume issues tho)

    I love the details and information! Bill is kind and down to earth dSD who just wants to find out and help others learn the signs of potential violence/red flags. Only concern is the volume on the podcast is quiet and the commercials are DEAFENING 🤪 I am only in 2024 episodes so maybe it gets better?

    Thanks!

  • Love the content, but….

    So glad you removed the three episodes about the “reformed” domestic abuser - I wouldn’t even listen to them because we KNOW they don’t change.

    Also, you need a better editor!!! There are so many parts repeated or out of order, on so many episodes, that it makes it hard to follow. The most recent episode just ends abruptly, mid sentence!!

    So annoying - but I do love the content and can relate to a lot of these survivor’s stories.

  • Oddly Comforting and Very Important to Educate All of Us

    I can’t remember how I found this podcast, but it’s been healing for me to hear so many others’ stories. I think I find a bit (or more than a bit) of myself in every episode. It is such a worthy project. Super job.

  • Healing

    This podcast has been very healing for me as a survivor myself. Even after being out for 3 years I still question if it was abusive and man listening to these stories makes me realize 100% that it was. It’s important for victims to know they are not alone. Thanks❤️

  • The laughter

    I’m two episodes in (starting from newer episodes) and all of the laughter from the guests when describing this is distracting. Maybe it’s nervous laughter, or embarrassing recounting these memories.

330. Riel - Pt 2 0f 2 Pts - Narcissistic Abuse Survivor: 20 Years of DARVO & Childhood Trauma
Q: So when did the light come on in your head that you had to end this thing and get away?
Gradual realization followed by a defining moment when an argument at work and a surge of emotional pain convinced me to seek safety, leave the home, and start formal steps like filing for divorce; the process included hotlines and counseling to recognize abuse as real and take action.
326. (Rerelease) J R Waltemyer - Protecting and Enforcing Victims' Rights
Q: What inspired the idea of the Address Confidentiality Program and how does it work in practice?
It was created to protect victims by issuing a concealed address, redirecting mail, and ensuring government records reflect the post office box, thereby maintaining safety while allowing continued interaction with officials.
326. (Rerelease) J R Waltemyer - Protecting and Enforcing Victims' Rights
Q: How does victim testimony affect parole outcomes and what changed in 2013?
Victim testimony can influence parole decisions; in 2013 Pennsylvania legislated in-person testimony, expanding the board's consideration and making victim input a formal part of the process.
326. (Rerelease) J R Waltemyer - Protecting and Enforcing Victims' Rights
Q: So what does the Pennsylvania Office of Victim Advocate actually do on a day-to-day basis?
The office provides victim services, supports for witnesses, training and technical assistance to local providers, and runs programs like Address Confidentiality to protect victims' identities.
