* Trigger warning* in this episode i will be discussing domestic and family violence and depictions of violent events, if you find this kind of content upsetting or distressing i would advise you do not listen to part one or part two.
Following up from last weeks episode, today i bring you part two of my experience growing up amongst domestic violence.
In part two i reflect on the times i was approached by my primary school teachers and later down the line by my co-workers when they suspected things were not okay at home.
I discuss the worst relationship my Mum was ever in and how it was hardest time on my entire life along with some of the most frightening moments i have ever witnessed and how these things had an effect on me then VS now. One of those side effects being a nervous tick that i developed in the thick of living amongst the violence .
I explain the fragile reality of actually "Leaving" and how helpless and stuck you can really feel in those moments where there is nowhere else to go.
I run through the emotional abuse and gaslighting i would be subjected too if i was unable to act as though things were fine and how that encouraged me to keep these awful truths from my friends and those closest to me.
