This episode will talk about the Warning Signs of a highly unhealthy (dangerous) relationship.

This comes with trigger warnings about descriptions of violence in a relationship. If this story becomes too uncomfortable, perhaps turn it off and direct your attentions someplace safe.

Khloe found her abuser through an online dating service. Everything about the new relationship felt like a perfect match. They shared the same interests. He was great with her son.

There were little hints (warning signs/red flags) from the first date that could have saved her a ton of trouble. She decided not to listen to her instincts. Those little pangs of fear did not urge her enough to slow down and be more careful.

Khloe tells her story vividly. She is fortunate to be alive to tell it.

Unlike most of our survivor stories, this one is continuing on at the time we publish it.

There is much to be learned by hearing Khloe's cautionary true story. After listening, share it with someone you know who needs to hear it.
