    Julia - Pt 1 of 3 - Argentinian Woman Speaks of Abuse by American Man

    Julia - Pt 1 of 3 - Argentinian Woman Speaks of Abuse by American Man

    This is part one 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 takes three episodes to tell properly. It's a powerful narrative to share with high school and college students.

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

    (THIS IS THE CORRECTED TRACK FOR CANDI ROSE.
    We apologize for the confusion we caused by running "Candi Rose Pt 1 of 2" Part 1 twice.
    We will do better quality control as we move along.)

    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.
    This is Candi Rose's story.

    Mary Fernandez - Interviewing Bill Mitchell on "Leadership, Legacies, and Legends Unleashed"

    Mary Fernandez - Interviewing Bill Mitchell on "Leadership, Legacies, and Legends Unleashed"

    I attended a podcast convention earlier this year. I left some leave-behinds and business cards with the hope of landing guests spots on national podcasts. It's another way to get the word out about dating abuse and intimate partner violence.
    Soon after the convention, I was contacted by Mary Fernandez, the host of the "Leadership, Legacies and Legends Unleashed" podcast. She invited me to speak on her show.
    This is our conversation. It's quite informative overall but the parts about the warning signs of unhealthy relationships and something I call "The Template Every Abuser Follows" make this podcast episode worth your time in listening.
    Thank you for listening in and subscribing.

    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

    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.
