In this episode of Drama in Session, we sit down with Nastassia to talk about the complicated reality of leaving a relationship you once believed you could fix.
Nastassia shares her journey through domestic violence, becoming a mother to two daughters, and the emotional cycle that kept her returning to a relationship she hoped would change. Like many women, she stayed because she believed things could get better and because she wanted to keep her family together.
But eventually, she reached a point where protecting her daughters became more important than protecting the relationship.
Nastassia opens up about the moment she realized she had to leave, the challenges of rebuilding her life as a single mother, and what it looks like to co-parent with someone after a history of violence. Today, she has built a stable career, found a healthy relationship, and continues to move forward while still navigating an ongoing custody case.
Her story is honest, raw, and incredibly important. By sharing it, Nastassia hopes to bring awareness to other women who may be in similar situations and remind them that leaving is not the end of their story.
