Sometimes 'Warriors' get stuck in their healing process because they crave an apology or acknowledgment of hurt from their abuser. The reality is that a lot of abusive people lack the ability for self-reflection and empathy, they may never apologize for the hurt they caused. This episode seeks to provide the much needed apology, acknowledgment and understanding for anyone hurting from abuse.

Every first episode of the month on Broken Road is dedicated to Gratitude. I want to apologize for not bringing the final episode of the two-part series on enduring abuse for the sake of children. This episode is based on a recent lesson I learnt about how life no matter how crazy the situation may seem eventually works out for our good. Thank you for listening. Enjoy!

We begin the discussion on the impact of witnessing abuse on the physical, emotional, and social functioning of the children. 

Today's podcast summarizes the findings of various research I conducted for an unpublished literature review titled: 
'Divorce vs. Endure: What is the general impact if any, of witnessing abuse on a child'
