Disclaimer right off the bat as I am going to be talking about domestic violence so if you are triggered by this topic, I'll see you on the next episode. With that said, it's time to tell my story and the honest one. My childhood look great on the outside but it was anything but on the inside and just from the title of this episode, you probably know where I'm going with it. I want to share in case you or someone you know is in a similar situation and I want you to know there's a way out.
