Lauren - Dating Violence (while in High School) and Marital Abuse Survivor
Lauren is about 30-years old. Hers is a cautionary tale that needs to be heard by everyone.
In high school, Lauren fell in love with Max. She didn't know what she was getting into. Abusive guys, like Max, become well-practiced at the manipulation and grooming their targets. Lauren mistook his behavior as love.
It was not. It was a classic example of dating abuse.
Like many innocent young women, Lauren stayed in the relationship far too long. When it ended, she met a man she would later marry. They have two daughters now. You will hear how that relationship turned out as well. It was not good.
Set aside some time and listen to Lauren's story. Then invite others to hear what can really go on in high school and after. You probably will want to take notes.

Janine Latus - Sister of Domestic Violence Victim (also a Survivor, Herself)
I read Janine Latus's 336-page book, "If I Am Missing or Dead", years ago. I finished it in two days. It was that compelling a read. I reached out to her many times since then, and she has always answered me. She is so special.
Janine has been called "...the most compelling speaker on sexual assault and relationship abuse I've ever heard." I believe that is spot on.
Why is that? She knows it because she has lived it.
Janine has come face to face with domestic abuse starting as a young girl. As much as she tried for this not to happen to her again later in life, she ended up in an abusive relationship that nearly cost her her life.
The most-cherished person in Janine's life, her sister Amy, also fell prey to domestic violence. Amy trusted a man who took complete advantage of her. They way Janine tells this will take your breath away.
Janine Latus has given countless speeches before diverse audiences. She is nationally-known as a powerful force for bringing lifesaving information to those who need it most.
Set aside an hour and listen to this episode with Janine Latus. I promise you it will be time invested wisely.

Rosy - Domestic Violence Survivor from UK
"Rosy" is a listener from London, UK. She first came across our podcast when listening to an episode on the This Is Actually Happening podcast. It led to her listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast and hearing interviews with abuse survivors.
Rosy has spent most of her late 20's and early 30's recovering from the dating abuse she experienced. The WHEN DATING HURTS podcast has helped her in understanding her experiences.
Rosy was in an abusive relationship (on and off) from the age of 19 until about 26. She found it hard to leave even after experiencing periods of happiness without him. Part of what kept her in the relationship was feeling unable to cut him off due to mutual friends, abandonment issues that stemmed from her childhood, and generally being subject to emotionally abusive tactics.
This is Rosy's interview on WHEN DATING HURTS.

Customer Reviews
Very compassionate and helpful
This is a very compassionate and informational podcast. Bill is so sweet to all- I’m so sorry anyone had to go through these things.
Let us hear more from each guest.
This is an excellent and informative podcast. Bill clearly shows compassion and empathy for the storytellers. My only suggestion is to please let your guests speak without interruption. I think it’s normal to make interjections here and there when having a casual dialogue but in this context, I wish the interviewee could fully answer the question. If the guest is answering the question, it’s often difficult to hear their response because the host is either speaking over them or answering the question for them while they’re trying to relay the answer. Besides this, i’d highly recommended.
I’m so impressed and grateful!
I can relate to J.D. so much! I experienced a very similar situation. With my partner being on drugs and drinking excessively. Yet he was telling me and everyone that I was the one with the problems. He finally set me up to be arrested for beating him up. The 22 hours I was away from my 4 month old twins and 2 year old. He stole all of the money in my account, my kids accounts and yes under the mattress. Luckily I had more than 2 more accounts. It’s just insanity and I feel like talking about it, no one believes me. So I appreciate J.D. sharing his story. After everything my X did, I KNOW his next attempt to get to my money was to kill me. My nanny told me she was terrified to show up and I would be buried in the back yard.
