This is part one of two parts focused on dating abuse. 

Jessica had her life going in the right direction until she met up with Jeff. She accommodated him way too much, and he took full advantage of her generosity. 

Jessica's innocence shines through in this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast interview.

She admits she was naive with her handling of Jeff. She trusted him and received no respect in return.

For parents, you will probably see one or more of your children in Jessica's story. For teens and twenty-somethings, you will see a friend—or maybe yourself. 

There is plenty to be learned in the telling Jessica's story of abuse. 

Thank you for listening to our WHEN DATING HURTS podcast,
