Warning: **This episode contains GRAPHIC DETAILS of physical abuse.** As sensitive of a subject as it is, it's quite horrifying how nobody discusses the issue that is abuse. Dana mentions October is child abuse awareness month and shares her story undergoing nearly her whole life being abused. She discusses about how she was physically abused as a child and also had an incredibly toxic first marriage. Dana also shares how abuse survivors have a much higher percentage rate of developing depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, and a lot... very sadly... even take their own lives. Dana shares it's hard to give advice to people who have been in similar situations because she understands some people cannot escape which is heartbreaking.
