Domestic Violence *trigger warning*

TRIGGER WARNING - audio from the night in June of 2015 when I was assaulted by my boyfriend at the time is included at the beginning of this episode.

Being a survivor of DV, I wanted to share my story during October, which is Domestic Violence awareness month. I hope that by sharing my story I'm able to help someone get out or help other survivors not feel so alone.

If you or someone you love needs to get out of an abusive relationship please call [phone], text START to 88788, or visit www.thehotline.org for assistance. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
