The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence estimates that nearly 20 people in America are physically abused by their partners every minute. This equates to 10 million women and men every year. It can be difficult to wrap your head around numbers like this but these statistics prove that domestic violence is a real and prevalent issue. In fact, intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crimes in the country. For victims, self-degradation and shame spurred by the abuse can make leaving seem just as difficult as staying.
In today’s episode, I speak with Amanda (A.E.) Lee who, in a captivating and moving account, talks about her experience of being in an abusive relationship with her ex-husband, and what it was that finally gave her the courage to leave. She also discusses the aftermath of leaving and how she was able to move forward and never look back.
