This is part two of a two-part narrative with Ashley.

Ashley's story covers many of the classic warning signs of an abusive dating relationship. She went head over heels for a guy (Mark) and that led her to overlook clues that indicated this relationship was headed for trouble.

Praise goes to Ashley for hanging with Mark for so long. She gave her best to get him on the right track. The more she gave, the more he took. As so often happens, victims like

Ashley do all they can to make things right. They go beyond places where others would call a halt.   

This story is good to share with anyone who’s dating someone who concerns you. It offers the possibility of tipping you off to what is really going on in a relationship you know about. Those little warning signs should never be dismissed.   

Ashley’s interview will keep your attention in this two-part WHEN DATING HURTS dating abuse story.
