In the 1980's, Judith Barsi was a 10 year old actress on her way to stardom when her father's violence and jealousy led him to commit the most heinous act. The abuse and trauma that this little girl endured in her short life would make even the most dramatic of screenwriters gasp. 
Hollywood definitely lost a treasure when Judith was murdered - Yep, Yep, Yep.

When Hollie Gazzard began dating Asher Maslin she could never have imagined how possessive and controlling he would become or how their "love"story would end.
One more tragic example of why we all need to be able to recognise the signs of abusive relationships and have an understanding of how to help our selves and those we love to escape them.

23 year old uni student Molly McLaren had already overcome so much in her life but the one thing that she didn't anticipate, was having to try to survive ending a relationship with a possessive stalker. When the end of a short relationship leads to this sort of tragedy, you wonder why any of us ever get involved in intimate relationships at all!

I must apologise for the TERRIBLE audio in this episode. I would have rerecorded but apparently it's going to rain for at least another week so this is as good as it will get. I had already delayed things due to my own mental health moment and missed last weeks upload so I didn't want to skip another week. So please forgive me and I hope you still take the time to hear Molly's case because it is a very important one. 

Stay safe xx
