We continue to discuss abusive relationships. I suggest you listen to Episode 13 before continuing. Here I open up about my own experience with an abusive man we will be calling Mr. Hollywood. Abusive comes in many forms and statistics show the best predictor of escalation is your intuition. If you are questioning the nature of your current relationship that alone is a red flag. Don't wait untill the abuse gets worse or you are too emotionally attached to leave. 

If you need help escaping an abusive relationship help is available through the National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233. 

If you think you might be in an abusive relationship I recommend reading the book Why Does He do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling man. Also available as an audiobook. 

Thank you for listening and I hope this information is helpful to you.
