What happens when leaving the abuse is only the beginning?

In this gripping episode of Bitch Is A Bad Word, Vicki shares her 21-year journey of surviving an abusive marriage, fighting through endless family court battles, and protecting her children while rebuilding her life from scratch.

From being told “you’ll have no one and nothing” to watching her ex sabotage finances, drag her through years of litigation, and weaponize custody, Vicki explains how abuse doesn’t end when you walk out the door — it often continues in the courtroom.

She opens up about:

- What it’s really like to spend years and millions fighting in family court

- How abusers use money and legal systems as weapons

- The emotional toll of being gaslit, shamed, and silenced

- Why leaving takes more than courage — it takes support and strategy

- The turning point when she realized she already had the strength to get free

- If you’ve ever thought:

- “Why is my divorce taking years?”

- “Why does my ex keep dragging me back to court?”

- “How do I protect my kids when the abuse won’t stop?”

— this episode will help you feel seen, validated, and less alone.
