When it's time to leave a relationship, esp one that's abusive, you're going to need to be brave. Otherwise you may never leave (4:21)
Don't take on all the blame of the failed relationship (5:19)
It's not okay to subject children to the toxicity and abuse, even if they aren't being abused (6:21)

The man that pursues you should make you feel safe, secure and cared for (17:30)
You have to be willing to evaluate where you went wrong in the relationship and how you contributed to it breaking down (22:26)
Top Quotes
It doesn't matter what happened between you and the children's father, accommodate him in their lives (8:03)
My time was consumed with making them (my children) comfortable, and making their lives, you know, as easy as possible (12:14)
The first signs you want to look for are those things that caused the first marriage to break down (20:54)
You have to do some introspection, analyze yourself and see what did you contribute to the first failure because it takes two persons to make it fail (22:26)
