I met Lyn a couple of years ago in Dominica when I spent time on the Island.
On my trip late last year, we hired a vehicle from her company. As we waited for the vehicle to be prepared we chatted in her office about life and somehow we got talking about her experiences of domestic violence. I invited her to appear on this podcast and she did not hesitate to agree and stated that she would love other women to learn from her experiences. When I returned to the UK we sought to set up the interview, this interview became more urgent as tragically two women were killed in Dominica due to DV.
In this interview, Lyn shares a little of what she went through at the hands of her ex-husband, who began with verbal abuse which turned physical. Hers is a story of inner strength driven by her spirituality and strong family connection.
She shares some of the challenges faced by women in Dominica who seek to escape DV and advice for those who find themselves in this situation. and also
Lyn says she is sustained by; her faith, her children and her birth family.
My sincere thanks to Lyn for her honesty and bravery.
