    Candi Rose - Pt 2 of 2 - Mother. Stripper. Felon. Author. Intimate Partner Survivor.

    This is part two of a two-part narrative with Candi Rose.
    Candi Rose is her actual name. Her full name is Candace Rose. She was bullied in high school to the point where her mother moved her to a different school. There she fell in with the wrong crowd.
    Things became worse as she made a series of unfortunate decisions. Her lack of experience, wisdom, or good judgment landed her in jail as a convicted felon. Once released what did she do to make a living? She became a stripper.
    The twists and turns of Candi's life will have you tightly holding on. But, as with every survivor story, there is an abuse and there is as ascendence out to freedom and safety.

    How an Abusers Thinks... Part 3

    How an Abusers Thinks... Part 3

    This episode comes with content and trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, domestic violence, and graphic violence.
    The voice you hear on this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast episode was created by artificial intelligence. It is not a real person's voice.
    The words spoken are a composite of beliefs and concepts expressed by dating and domestic abusers found within articles and interviews. They have been collected over nearly two decades. They have been reassembled as complete ideas and thoughts.  
    This episode illustrates how abusers portray themselves as victims. There is not one "portrait" that fits all abusers, of course, but many never take ownership of their words or actions, and they justify their abusive and destructive behavior.    

    NOTE:
    If you are a survivor and want to share your story of abuse on the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, please email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com
    The WHEN DATING HURTS book (paperback, eBook, and audiobook) can only be found on Amazon.

    Bill Mitchell - Interviewed by True Crime Connections Podcast

    Bill Mitchell - Interviewed by True Crime Connections Podcast

    I was invited to join in an interview with True Crime Connections podcast host, Tiffanie.
    This was the perfect venue to continue our review of life-saving information like my latest list of warning signs. Only in the past year have I uncovered some new ones worth hearing about.
    I also shared what I call the "Template Every Abuser Follows". These are important areas to know since intimate partner violence does not present itself as evil at first. "IPV" often appears like "this someone" is the embodiment of your dreams. It's all wonderful until you begin to know the real person behind the mask.
    Thanks to Tiffanie, the host of the True Crime Connections podcast for this opportunity to speak before a new audience of listeners.
    And thank you for following the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast.

    Beany - Pt 2 of 2 - Warning Signs Missed Almost Cost Her Life

    Beany - Pt 2 of 2 - Warning Signs Missed Almost Cost Her Life

    The following story comes with trigger warnings due to both its content and graphic descriptions.
    This is part one of a two-part story.
    Beany Chalfant brought her story to me in an email. I knew she needed to tell her narrative to us.
    By the time she reached 40, she had never been close to intimate partner violence. But all of that changed with one boyfriend. In the beginning, he seemed to bring everything she was missing, but before long, he was more than she could handle.
    The story shows us, once more, that having no awareness of the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship makes it too easy to become swallowed alive by an abusive predator.
    Beany reached the point where she found ways to live with the frequent emotional and violent behavior doled out by her boyfriend. In his twisted mind, he felt he could do anything he wanted. And when she tried to stop him, he resorted to threatening her life and the lives of her children.
    How does anyone remain in a relationship this toxic for 10 years? Listen to the story and you will see.
    This is Beany’s story.
