From broken to brave—surviving was just the beginning. Thriving is my new chapter as we sit down with E from the Murder, Blood and Psychopaths' Podcast as she tells her story.
Abusive relationships can take many forms—emotional, physical, verbal, financial, or psychological—and they’re built on power and control. Recognizing the signs is crucial. These might include manipulation, constant criticism, isolation from friends or family, threats, or physical harm. Abuse is never the victim's fault, and no one deserves to be treated that way.
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse:
Reach out for help: Trusted friends, family, or professionals can be essential sources of support.
Contact local resources or hotlines: In the U.S., the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available at 1-800-799-7233 or thehotline.org.
Prioritize safety: A safety plan can help you leave safely or protect yourself while you figure out your next steps.
Healing is possible.
Leaving an abusive relationship is hard, but it’s also an act of courage. Recovery involves rebuilding trust in yourself, seeking support, and rediscovering what makes you feel strong and whole. You deserve kindness, respect, and love—starting with yourself
