In this episode, we talk with a guest about her experience with a toxic and abusive relationship. Our guest shares her story of how she fell for a man who had a history of domestic violence and had been in jail multiple times, and how she ignored the red flags that were right in front of her.
She speaks candidly about how her childhood experiences of not having a father figure in her life may have contributed to her need for comfort and companionship, which led her to overlook the signs of a toxic relationship. The guest also discusses how her desire to "fix" her partner and see the potential in him kept her in the relationship for far too long, even though it was damaging to her both mentally and physically.
The conversation touches on important topics such as domestic violence, the importance of recognizing warning signs, and the damaging effects of staying in a toxic relationship. The guest's story is relatable and serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing one's own well-being and being mindful of the patterns that contribute to unhealthy relationships.
