Today we hear from Megan about how her abusive marriage affected her life, her sexuality, her substance use and her health. Abusive relationships are common, and everyone copes differently. Megan discusses how she coped, or didn't, and how she was eventually able to leave that relationship and put herself and her sexuality "back together". 

"I had the perfect house, the perfect family, the perfect marriage; and all it cost me was my life."
