Get ready for a gripping and powerful story.  Erin Kolczak is a survivor of domestic violence. She describes some bone chilling events which eventually led to a serious and deadly act of aggression. 

She not only escaped from an abuser, but she provides specific examples on how someone in a similar situation can get help.  She also provides insight for family and friends of someone who is experiencing domestic violence. 

This podcast includes graphic subject matter and should not be watched by young children.  HOWEVER, this podcast outlines “red flags” during the dating cycle which is invaluable information for adolescents.
