Is the Cost to Leave an Abusive Marriage Worth It? [128]


Listen Later

Why are you staying in your abusive marriage? 


For many women, the price to get free seems too high. They fear destitution, losing their children, revenge by their husband, more trauma and heartache, a scarlet "D" on their chests, the legal hassle...the list goes on. 


These are real, valid fears. And terribly high, but prevalent, costs. Which raise the question: Is it worth it?


Amie experienced all of these things and more to get out. Listen to her story and decide for yourself. 


This podcast includes:

  • How the Bible was used to FORCE Amie to marry her abuser
  • The SECRET her husband kept from her for years (ALERT: withholding information IS abuse)
  • Why she stayed for so long even as her health broke down
  • The heartbreaking trauma she endured from her church, her children, her ex-husband, and multiple counselors
  • Where she is today and whether it was worth it (The MOST IMPORTANT part of this incredible story)
