Recently I posted a story about the four relationships I’ve had in my life that were abusive in some way, and unhealthy in many ways. 💔 It was called “Coercive Control: The Frog That Slowly Boils To Death”. 🐸 I’ve had a few emails from women since then telling me they’ve been wanting to leave their relationship for a while, that they need to get out but they just don’t know how. 🥺 They’re a shell…
