✅ How family courts and the legal system often fail victims
✅ Why abusers use legal, financial, and parental control to maintain dominance
✅ Practical steps for victims to protect themselves and their children
If you or someone you know feels trapped in a relationship where power and fear dictate daily life, this conversation is a must-listen.
