Today, Jan is again joined by engineer and author Ted L. Turner and Charlotte Gwalt for part two of Charlotte's journey from desperation to a stable and happy life. Charlotte reveals how a life shaped by trauma led her to her future husband as a teenager and the long, difficult path to building a healthy life. She and Jan discuss the struggles of a young marriage, the profound impact of finally having her story believed by Ted, and the hard work of learning to mother her children when she had no model for it.
