Madonna's Domestic Violence Story may sound familiar to those of you who are Survivors, but is perhaps also unique, in that Madonna's first Domestic Violence situation didn't start until about ten years into her first marriage.
Her first husband had serious issues getting work, so he went to University where he got involved in drugs, partying hard, and evidently, seeing other women. Madonna shares she doesn't know how he passed Uni but he managed.
That landed him a high-profile marketing job with a major building firm...still doing drugs...drinking heavily and still seeing other women.
"So...the abuse started then...and it didn't stop until he left me for one of those women...who happened to be one of my best friends!"
Listen to Part One of this Two Part Podcast as Madonna shares her experiences of both emotional and physical abuse in this powerful story.
