In this powerful episode of Victim’s Voices, Abbey Schaefer shares her story of surviving DV and SA during her college years.

What started as a relationship built on charm and attention slowly became isolation, control, fear, and abuse. Abbey walks us through the red flags she didn’t see at first, the escalation that followed, and what it took to break free from someone she once trusted.

This episode contains discussions of DV and SA.

Abbey’s story is not just about survival — it’s about reclaiming her voice.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available. In the U.S., you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

 This is Victim’s Voices — where survivors speak, and we listen.
