This is Lee Ann’s story part one of two parts.

Our interview with Lee Ann, who lives in Florida, covers a lot of dating and domestic violence topics. You’ll hear about love bombing, overt narcissism, emotional and physical violence, and the rise and fall of a fortune made and lost.

There is coercive control, deception, even degradation. You will also hear of the deaths of two ex-husbands. It’s all in this conversation.

From living in a manor house with a housekeeper, to living on the run after calling in police to break up a domestic dispute, Lee Ann has seen it all. And she has experience at all.

And through it all, Lee Ann has been a determined survivor who found plenty of strength and she continues to recover.

Lee Ann has never told her entire domestic violence story to anyone before.

This is Lee Ann’s story.

Content/Trigger Warnings:
Domestic abuse, domestic violence, and graphic violence.

The voice you hear on this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast episode was created by artificial intelligence. It is not a real person's voice.

The words spoken are a composite of beliefs and concepts expressed by dating and domestic abusers found within articles and interviews. They have been collected over nearly two decades. They have been reassembled as complete ideas and thoughts.   

This episode illustrates how abusers portray themselves as victims. There is not one "portrait" that fits all abusers, of course, but many never take ownership of their words or actions, and they justify their abusive and destructive behavior.

This is part two in a two-part story.   

At 16-years of age, Marie and a few high school friends went to a local university to hang out at some social events. That’s where she met Jake.

Jake was a 21-year-old college student with aspirations of playing football. But injuries took that dream away from him. Instead, he used opioids and other means to deal with pain. In truth, he was addicted but said he had it under control.

The Marie and Jake relationship “stuck”, and it lasted for years that included a list of red flags. While listening to Marie’s story, we find ourselves hoping she will see the light and direct her affections elsewhere. But it will take a long time for her to get there.

In part two of her story, Marie speaks about an internship which allowed her to listen to highly dangerous domestic violence predators on probation. She gained powerful insights into the minds of abusers. Insights which helped her see Jake for who he truly was.

In practical ways, this story describes red flags, drug abuse, dating abuse, coercive control, poor decision-making, and so many other missteps made (and consequences brought) in peoples’ lives.

This is Marie’s story.  NOTE:   If you want to share your story of abuse on the     WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com

This is the second in a two-part story with Erin.

Erin was taken advantage of while she was suffering through a highly sensitive passage in her life. Charlie presented himself as the right answer at the right time.

Like many victims, she was an innocent, generous person. The kind of target predators are looking to lure straight into problematic relationships.

The warning signs of potential danger were there, but Erin didn’t interpret them. You will learn plenty from this powerful episode. You will see how difficult it is to break from an accomplished abuser. You need to hear Erin's story.    

Be sure you share this WHEN DATING HURTS episode with someone who's dating.

This is part one of two parts with Amanda.   

This interview comes with all the trigger warnings.

Amanda lives in Australia, but her story could have taken place anywhere in the world.

The treatment Amanda and her twin sister (named J.J.) received as babies continued into their teen years. It is shocking, disturbing, inhumane, and, frankly, impossible to comprehend. But it is true, nonetheless.

This is Domestic Violence at its ugliest.

The redeeming facet about Amanda’s story is how it never managed to break her. Her generous spirit can be witnessed here. She somehow was able to find a way to live through it all and took a heroic path in life.

This is Amanda's story.

This is part three of three parts with Sabrina.   

She met him in her freshman year of college. He was a senior. Was it love at first sight? Maybe for her. Not for him. Jake had other ideas.

This story is meant for parents with daughters in, or soon entering, college. It should be a time when they begin to take off in life and learn to find their way. But it be a time when they display their innocence and are easy prey for predators.

Sabrina was a trusting young woman who put her life in the hands of a man who knew how to manipulate her until she had no power at all. The more she gave the more he took.

We ask ourselves how these kinds of toxic/dangerous relationships take hold. We ask why a smart person doesn't just pick up and leave. This story will explain this from the POV of someone who still cannot understand how she had this happen to her.   

This is Sabrina's story.

Serena offers to speak about the financial "bottomless pit" she was put in.

We cover financial abuse in this episode. It's a subject that never gets enough airtime.

Imagine, the one person her ex-husband took most advantage of? His own wife! 

It was financial abuse to the max.

She says: “I have not told my full story (other than to the police, federal investigators, divorce attorneys, and forensic accountants). But if telling my story can help others, I'm ready.”

A summary of what her husband did:
Serena was groomed from before they were married using sociopathic and narcissist strategies to obtain trust and expose her vulnerabilities.

In short, he...

1. used her name and social security number to obtain credit cards while keeping a separate PO Box to hide it all, then switching the PO Box to her home after he was discovered.

2. used her information to apply for FAFSA loans while she was obtaining her doctorate He maxed out her student loans, then moved the money so it couldn't be traced, and laundered it.

3. hacked her retirement accounts.

4. cashed out joint investments for cash.

5. attempted to cash out the equity in their home in her name ($300K). She literally intercepted the mail with the signature sheet.

6. stole money from a nonprofit for orphans and invested it in his own name.

7. was likely doing the same thing to his mentally ill adult son.

8. lied, lied, lied (of course, he did).

When he was discovered, he left the state and the rubble. She has been working to clean this up for the last three years with the help of great community members, therapists, strong friends, advisors, and grit!

Did we mention her ex-husband was a minister?

I get a lot of questions via email, Facebook, Instagram, and before and after speeches. I felt it a good idea to answer them for you in this episode.

If you have questions or thoughts you 'd like to share, reach me at: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com. 

I read Janine Latus's 336-page book, "If I Am Missing or Dead", years ago. I finished it in two days. It was that compelling a read. I reached out to her many times since then, and she has always answered me.  She is so special.

Janine has been called "...the most compelling speaker on sexual assault and relationship abuse I've ever heard." I believe that is spot on. 

Why is that? She knows it because she has lived it.

Janine has come face to face with domestic abuse starting as a young girl. As much as she tried for this not to happen to her again later in life, she ended up in an abusive relationship that nearly cost her her life.

The most-cherished person in Janine's life, her sister Amy, also fell prey to domestic violence. Amy trusted a man who took complete advantage of her. They way Janine tells this will take your breath away.

Janine Latus has given countless speeches before diverse audiences. She is nationally-known as a powerful force for bringing lifesaving information to those who need it most. 

Set aside an hour and listen to this episode with Janine Latus. I promise you it will be time invested wisely.

An Opportunity for You:
I use a company called Zencastr (it's a weird spelling, I know) to record and host all my episodes on the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast. I have used their intuitive products for over two years now. They have made the management and delivery of our podcast's messages easy.

Podcasting has grown exponentially. There are podcasts on just about everything. And podcasting advertising has been the fastest growing channel in that time.

Interested in investing in Zencastr? Go to WeFunder.com/Zencastr to claim your slice of the future of podcasting!

Blair wrote me and said, “The more I listen to stories on your podcast, (the more) I feel compelled to share.”

Blair grew up, in her words, “Surrounded and molded by the dysfunction of my parents' volatile dynamic.” She describes that time in her life, and you will feel it.

Later, she suffered dating abuse only days after graduating high school. She details what it was like and how it felt. Like most victims, she was lured into this with careful manipulation and grooming. It lasted five years. Like all "DV" survivors, when she hit her breaking point, only then did she realize and commit to breaking free.

There’s much to be gained by listening to Blair's story. She is another heroic survivor who is shining a bright light on what domestic violence is—and how she reclaimed herself. Today, Blair lives in a happy and healthy relationship surrounded by her husband, her two adorable children, and her dogs.

"Sara" is a domestic violence survivor. She is also my cousin.

Sara appeared to be in a perfect marriage. A nice home and three healthy boys. But her ex-husband eventually devolved into a serial abuser. She did all she could to coerce him into getting help, but nothing seemed to work. When living with this man became dangerous, she needed to break free. 

Listen to a narrative of patience and courage. Sara took years before she could tell her story. We applaud her for sharing it with us on the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast.

On June 3, 2005, Detective Jim McGowan contacted me with knowledge about what happened to my daughter. Earlier that day, he interviewed Kristin's murderer, her ex-boyfriend, Nick. From that time until now, Nick has remained incarcerated. 

Over the years, I've gained invaluable insights from Jim on why abusers do what they do and why abused women stay in dangerous relationships. Jim shares this and more in this WHEN DATING HURTS episode. 

This is a "must-listen-to" episode for parents, friends, and families of women who are, or might be, in dating relationships.

I am certain this episode will save someone's life.

Sheri Kurdakul is a domestic abuse survivor. There is nothing typical about the abuse she suffered. Like many survivors of abuse, her story is challenging to listen, to but there is much to be learned from her.

Most survivors I have met tell of frequent times they were on the receiving end of despicable abuse. But they also speak about the inventive ways they endured and eventually overcame those circumstances. This is one of those stories.

At first, you might feel sorry for Sheri, but later you will come to admire and celebrate her courage and a desire to rise above. 

This is Sheri's story.

Karen Widdoss is a courageous survivor of a murderous assault suffered when she was a young teen. 

In the summer of 1994, her ex-boyfriend attacked her and nearly took her life. How she managed to hold onto her life is miraculous. 

Karen has added her voice to survivors of violent crimes by speaking out about her experiences so no other woman would ever suffer as she has. 

In this episode, we talk about "Karen’s Law" which dramatically changes the way parole board hearings are handled. "Karen's Law" was passed on November 25, 2020 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 

Karen Widdoss has continually used her tragedy to dramatically help others in need.
