Dianne and I became friends when she was a stay-at-home mom,  the youngest of her 4 children was only 3 years old and her 5 year old was enduring once-weekly chemotherapy treatments for the foreseeable future.  I had no idea of the other horrors she was enduring at home.  Within the next year, she left her abuser of 20 years (with 4 children in tow) and started over completely.  I've never been in such awe of a person's strength and fortitude.  So I invited her on the show to ask her, "How did you get so brave? Are you an anomaly or could someone else learn to be that brave too?"
