WHEN DATING HURTS Evergreen Podcasts

This is part one of a two-part story
My conversation with Charlee touches on areas we have not visited previously.
She was born a twin to a mother who disliked children. Her twin brother might have had it worse because her mother hated men.
It is debatable who made Charlee's younger years more miserable: her mother, her alcoholic, father, her sexual predator, stepfather, or her brother.
By the time Charlee reached her teens, she realized she was a lesbian. And that took her to places she had never imagined.
This story touches upon quite a lot of emotional abuse. In part two, there was also financial abuse mixed in.
This is Charlee's story.

NOTE:

This is part two of a two-part story from Sarah, who lives in Australia.
Sarah and her siblings grew up in New Zealand under the tyrannical reign of a merciless stepfather. This man ruled their home with an iron fist that was directed mostly at Sarah's mother. For ten years, they needed to be on guard from his abusive behavior. Her mother bore the brunt of his emotional and physical abuse. It was fortunate her mother survived.
When she was old enough to be on her own, Sarah moved away to Australia and married a man who embodied the strength she thought was needed in a husband. They had three children, but she found no power in her life. She was strictly a support person for this man who was emotionally and verbally abusive to her. That marriage failed.
One of Sarah's daughter's, Charlotte, the middle child, was quite strong willed. When Charlotte was in her late teens, she met a man and had a baby with him. There were warning signs in plain view, but these were dismissed by Charlotte. That relationship carries on even today and is a constant worry for Sarah.
We thank Sarah for asking to tell her multi-generational story of abuse. There is much to be heard and learned in this narrative.

This is part three of a three-part story.
Julia is an Argentinian woman. As a child, she dreamt of coming to the US to further her education and experience all she had seen on TV and read in books.
He path was to become a hard-working au pair as a way to financially make ends meet. She also loved children of all ages. For a while, everything fell into place.
She tried dating sites and met American men. One stood out as a man she could imagine marrying one day. He took his time before he showed his true self. That's when his control tactics kicked in and everything went horribly wrong.
You will see how easily we can become duped by a narcissist — no matter where in the world we come from. They are practiced individuals who take their time to get to know us before they strike.
Julia's story has taken three episodes to tell properly. It's a powerful narrative to share with high school and college students.
