Dismissed True Stories
Thug It Out: My Story PT 1
Raw vulnerability takes incredible courage. What began as a simple podcast episode transformed into a profound moment of truth as I shared my personal journey through domestic violence for the first time – completely unfiltered and unedited.
The decision to "raw dog" my story wasn't made lightly. After hearing countless survivor stories and carefully editing them for my audience, I realized I couldn't apply the same process to my own trauma. The emotional toll of revisiting, analyzing, and providing educational context to my personal horror story was simply too great. This revelation speaks to a crucial aspect of healing: sometimes self-care means acknowledging our limitations and protecting our mental health, even when we desperately want to help others.
My story begins like many – meeting someone who seemed wonderful at 18, reconnecting years later during a vulnerable period in my life, and slowly descending into an increasingly dangerous situation. From abandoning my successful radio career and moving states, to discovering a hidden heroin addiction while pregnant, to enduring escalating physical and sexual violence – each chapter follows the textbook pattern of abuse that I now recognize so clearly. Perhaps most poignant was sharing a previously blocked memory of sexual assault that occurred while my child slept nearby – a trauma so overwhelming my brain had protected me from it until recently.
What makes this episode unique isn't just the content, but the real-time processing of trauma you witness. The raw emotions, the moments I need to pause and breathe, the unexpected memories surfacing – all demonstrate how healing isn't linear but rather an ongoing journey of discovery, acceptance, and growth. For fellow survivors listening, know that memory fragmentation is normal, that healing comes in waves, and that community support is essential.

Together, we're not just surviving – we're reclaiming our power and helping others do the same.

okay, here we fucking go. Here we fucking go. Okay, here's the thing. I just wanted to come on and say, hey, this is my intro, um, but I wanted to let you know that I'm completely raw dogging this episode.
Speaker 2:I decided for my mental health and that's what we're really going to focus on this season. That's how we kicked it off, talking about self-care, and so I think that the best option for me is to not spend a lot of time editing my personal story. So there's not going to be any sidebar commentary through this where I educate you, the listener, on my experiences and what they could be classified as or called, just because sitting in it has been really difficult for me, has been really difficult for me, and while I can interview you and I can edit your stories and spend time in it, I'm able to separate myself from that experience. This is my experience and my story, so I am unable to separate myself from this, which is why I've decided that I will not be editing and educating you throughout this experience. I apologize for that, but I do have to remember that if I'm going to be in this for the long haul man, I really got to take care of myself. We're just going to thug it out.
Speaker 2:So I did post a poll on my social media yesterday, one on my Instagram at the DV Survivor Sisterhood and the other one in a Facebook group. The Survivor Sisterhood slash Dismissed True Stories on Facebook asking if you liked the stories in two parts or if you would prefer them in one part and two parts, one like in the landslide. So I'm going to be separating my story into two different parts and baby birding it to you, apparently, which I totally get. These are hard things to listen to, things to listen to and if we want to talk like logistics or analytics, I think those are completely two different things. But I'm such a smart person. Average listening time is only like 20 to 30 minutes for a podcast.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I'm going to stop rambling and I'm just going to, you know, give it to you on a silver platter.
Speaker 2:So here is part one of my story. Okay, here we fucking go, here we fucking go. I'm just going to read what I wrote and then I'm going to jump into my story. What I wrote is important to me because I want you to. I want to correctly convey to you how much you sharing the most intimate and terrifying details of your life with me, how much that matters to me, how much that matter matters to other victims and survivors, how much sharing your story not only heals you but heals others, while also possibly saving lives. Possibly saving lives yeah, wow, that's heavy. So I guess, in the spirit of being really freaking heavy, we're fully submerged here. So let's just get into what I wrote. Okay, deep breath, okay, deep breath.
Speaker 2:I've been staring at my screen while a memory keeps replaying in my head, one that came up as I've been writing my own story, one that I pushed away as soon as it happened and one that I never thought would bother me as much as it does now. I foolishly thought that telling you my story would be easy. Wow, was I tragically wrong. The document on my computer is titled my name. That's how I save your stories for the podcast. Your names highlighted with questions. I want to ask you to dig deeper into your experiences. You all write out what happened to you because I ask you to, and I've always glossed over that part, you know like never really sat with it long enough to understand how badly this hurts to sit in what we've lived through and I am so sorry. E-l-i-s-s-a that's the title my name just stares at me in the top left-hand corner of my screen and it feels as though, as I'm staring at it, like nothing wants to come through. I've opened and closed this tab more times than I would download and delete Tinder while I was dating, because I always told myself that I wasn't ready. But many of you have done it for me, whether here on this podcast, in my comments on social media or in my inbox, and you are so fucking brave for real and I owe it to you to be your survivor sister and to show you the same amount of courage. So here it goes.
Speaker 2:Let's just start from the beginning. So I originally met my abuser when I was 18 during a snowstorm, and I'm from Ohio and where I'm from in Ohio, you have the levels levels to the road when it snows, levels one through three. They're determined by your county sheriff, so one means that there are some delays and maybe even some closings of schools and local businesses. And a level three means that you better not get caught driving out on the roads because I shit you not you could get arrested. So anyway, we're all under a level three and I just so happen to be snowed in over at a friend's house.
Speaker 2:And what do you do when you're 18, living in the middle of nowhere in a level three snowstorm? You go over to your friend's hot neighbor's house and party and you know, 18 is weird, because did this guy ever ask me out? I don't think so. I don't remember, but I know that we were definitely dating by the time that the snow cleared off the roads later that week and back then we weren't super serious. And I think because we weren't so serious I know actually I actually know that I missed a lot of red flags and I don't think we weren't dating very long.
Speaker 2:I always thought that he was very sweet back then, but I ended up breaking things off with him because my best friend and eventually my roommate, had a really big crush on him and I just felt like I was being a really shitty friend. I didn't like that feeling. It made me feel gross. So I just I broke things off with him. And also I was getting ready to go to Ohio state and I just wanted the quote unquote full college experience. So I broke things off.
Speaker 2:We ended up having like this seven year hiatus where we don't talk at all. I have no idea what this guy is doing and I remember at one point so it was just so random that I was working at a radio promotional event and he was there and so I just decided to walk up and say hi to him and he looks at me and goes why are you talking to me? And I just shrugged it off because I was like, okay, whatever, I guess I deserved that. I don't know. It never occurred to me at the time that he was just a jerk. So fast forward a few years later and I was still working in radio and I was full-time and the station that I worked for would stream live on the internet and at some point during our hiatus he upped and moved from Ohio to Michigan, but he was still listening to the station and so one night he ended up calling into my show and we really just started talking again from there.
Speaker 2:But the thing is is like I just wasn't in a good place in my life, even though I was the furthest along in my career. I had worked so hard to be where I was at. I was 25 years old, full-time in radio, in a 36 market which is a pretty incredible position to be in, by the way and radio in a 36 market, which is a pretty incredible position to be in, by the way. But at the same time, I just remember feeling so empty, so lonely, and when I turned 25 that year, on my birthday I cried the entire day, off and on, because I felt like I remember telling myself like you should be so much further along in your career than what I was and I know that's not a healthy place to be in, especially when it came to my perception of myself.
Speaker 2:I couldn't cut myself any slack. I always told myself that I wasn't doing good enough, you know. And on top of that, I had just broke off an engagement because I didn't feel like he and I wanted the same things out of life. So I couldn't see myself moving on through life with him career. That was the thing that meant the most to me at the time, and he was at a place where he wanted to find a woman to settle down with and give him lots of babies, and that just wasn't going to be me. So I ended up breaking things off with that guy, and when I did I lost all my friends. I was feeling very alone, and so I know that there were a lot of different factors that played into me ultimately walking into this abusive relationship.
Speaker 2:So in the very beginning I remember he drove all the way from Michigan to Ohio that's like six hours, okay and was outside of the radio station when I got out of my shift. Now I had a night shift, so I would work from like 6 to 10, and then there would be another syndicated show. A lot of the times that would come on and you would have to make sure that everything switched over right and that everything was doing okay. And then during that 11 or 10 to midnight slot I would also record the news for the morning show the next morning and I would have to record other commercials that ran on the station and all the things. So I didn't get out of work until it was midnight, one o'clock, and I remember walking out and he was standing outside in the parking lot of the radio station with flowers and chocolate, and I just remember thinking to myself like, oh my God, this is so cute and so romantic that he just drove six hours to wait for me to get out of work.
Speaker 2:No-transcript, I hate thinking about this, but I had a friend that was a producer for Good Morning America. We had met when I was in college and he actually pulled some strings so that I could get a non-paid internship with GMA. And of course I'm like yes, I want to take it, I don't even care that it's non-paid, like I'm going to figure it out because this is going to look amazing on my resume. And so I ended up sharing this news with my ex and he was like oh well, I'm going to follow you anywhere you want to go. Like I know how much this career means to you and we had been doing long distance for some time. So ultimately this kind of led to an ultimatum for me to move there. Because he was like you know, I'm going to follow you anywhere. And in my head I'm like okay, so we'll just go there, we'll probably be in Michigan for like a month and then we're going to head to NY. Like that's going to give me a little bit of time to just solely focus on logistics and figure it all out.
Speaker 2:And when I quit my job is when things started to feel a little off. And honestly, I think because I was so excited for something new I was feeling very stuck where I was in Ohio and I'd always grown up in a place where I didn't fit in. I never fit in, the girls did not like me, I was very bullied and I always knew that I have to get out of Ohio. So I was definitely ready for a change and, selfishly, I looked at this relationship as kind of like a ticket oh, I just hit my mic, sorry if that was really loud Kind of like a ticket to get out of Ohio but also someone to make this transition with me. And I know that I moved for all the wrong reasons, but I told myself at the time like I really do love this guy and I wanted to be with him. So, like I said, I quit my job, I packed my things in my car, we left.
Speaker 2:I left for Michigan, fully believing that I was still going to make it to New York. So that first night that I was there and here I'm still in Michigan. He called me a stupid bitch and I remember leaving that night and driving, had to take my dog to a hotel room and staying the night there and laying in the bed being like I cannot believe this is happening. Laying in the bed being like I cannot believe this is happening, like literally the first night, like what am I doing? And I remember, like weighing my options, because I'm like I'm in a completely new space, a new state. I have no one here, I'm completely alone. I literally just walked away from my career. It's not like broadcasting is forgiving.
Speaker 2:By then they'd probably already filled my show slot with somebody else, a new show, and so my ego just stepped in and was like, hey, you're going to have to swallow your pride on this one and go back and just figure it out on this one and go back and just figure it out. So I go back and time passes and I began to apply for different radio jobs all around the country because it started to become apparent to me that I wasn't going to make it to New York. And as I'm applying, he's pretending like, okay, this might be the right move. You know, maybe we just need a little bit more time, maybe we need to save up some more money and in my mind I'm like, okay, that makes sense, we want a bigger nest egg than what we had. I hadn't saved up very much money, but I was like I'm just going to go and he had convinced me that because I was friends with a producer that he's going to be able to pull strings whenever, and so I just start applying everywhere because I'm thinking, okay, he's still going to follow me wherever you know.
Speaker 2:And at the time he was also using my laptop to play poker online and whatever he was doing along with playing poker, I don't know, but it created a virus on my computer that caused me to lose everything. I lost my radio demos, my news demos, everything that I was using to apply for jobs. I lost it all. Such a freaking, devastating loss for me. I ended up going and getting a job, a waitressing job at a Coney Island after that, because what do you do? And I needed to make some money, and that that was the very beginning where I remember like this is my downfall.
Speaker 2:Before I had really really started to make friends, at that Coney Island that I started to work at, he decided that he was going to start introducing me to some of his friends around there, and I got excited because I'm like I don't know anyone else outside of him. I want to know other people outside of him. I'm a girl's girl. Give me some gossip, you know what I mean. Let's take a shopping trip somewhere.
Speaker 2:But every time that we would get ready and drive over to his friend's house, he decided that he needed to find something wrong with the way I looked, wrong with the way I looked, and so he would scream at me for quote-unquote, trying too hard, you wear too much makeup, why did you choose that outfit? And then I would start to cry because that really hurt. I've always been someone who's loved makeup, who's loved fashion and I love to do girly things. So him attacking that part of me was upsetting. It hurt. But also when I would cry, he would tell me to stop because that would make him look like a piece of shit. And then he would go on to say do not talk to anyone when you get over there. Probably because he didn't want me to tell the truth, but he framed it in a way that when I open my mouth, I'm embarrassing and my personality is shit, and I remember thinking that I was so confused back then because I'm like I literally just got paid for my personality for the past six years. So what can be that wrong with it? Like, what is so wrong with me?
Speaker 2:And I and I, right then and there, started to blame myself for the person that I was, because it was never enough for him, for the person that I was, because it was never enough for him. I remember during the first couple of months, like I said, I started to believe myself and it made me very, very angry with God because I ended up going to bed each night praying and pleading with him, begging him, bargaining with him that he would change me. Please, god, mold me into the woman that would make this man happy, because it feels like every choice I make sets him off in some way. I just want to be what he wants. I have to make this relationship work. I gave up so much to come here. I'm stuck. I have to make this work while Amen. Thank you, god, love you. Good night Bye. God never changed me in the ways that I had begged him to One thing that my ex would tell me from the beginning, and I always thought that it was a joke and I'm talking like guys, we're only a couple months into this relationship he always told me that he was going to anchor baby me.
Speaker 2:And I'm like what in the heck is anchor babying? I've I've never heard of this in my life. And for those of you that don't know, that's like get a woman pregnant so she can't leave you. And I was already isolated, right, he already did the job to love bomb me, and then he isolated me, and I mean obviously isolated me. I was alone, alone, and so I'm like where am I going to go? I'm working on a Coney Island. I'm literally selling Coney dogs for tips, like where am I going to go? By myself? And he knew that.
Speaker 2:Anyways, three months after I moved there, I find out that I'm pregnant and while I was pregnant, you know like your sense of smell is so great, it is intense boy. And I remember like him leaving for work and I got like this whiff of something that I'd never smelled before. And so I'm sniffing around through the apartment and I follow this scent back into the back bathroom of the apartment, up underneath the sink, the cabinet in the sink, and I'm like what is that? I know it's drugs, but I've never seen anything like it before. So I end up FaceTiming a and we come to the conclusion that it's heroin. And this is how I found out that this man was addicted to heroin and he'd been lying to me and I always thought that something was off. But I'd never been around drugs in my entire life. Um, I was not really like a partier like that. Um, I'd never seen it and so I couldn't really put my finger on what was going on. But I knew something was off that after I found that and I called him out about it, it was just a lot of escalation and the abuse that occurred and I also wanted to help him.
Speaker 2:Addiction isn't easy and why would I just up and leave? I'm pregnant, we're supposed to be having a family and it just made the most sense to me to try to work things out. And I remember when I was nine months pregnant, we had just finished the nursery and we had gotten into some sort of argument and he ended up pushing me up the stairs and me almost falling. But I ended up catching myself on the rails of the crib in the nursery and I stand up and I turn around and our eyes meet and I stand up and I turn around and our eyes meet and both of us, like our eyes are just like huge, staring at each other, because both of us knew what that could have meant, what that fall could have meant. That was an extremely sobering moment for me, because he had always just kind of like grabbed my arm or pushed me around and I just it never really occurred to me that that was abuse, but this was something that I couldn't ignore. So after our son was born, it was just a lot more of the same, a lot more of the same behaviors for many, many years.
Speaker 2:But one of the events that sticks out in my head is an evening where I came home from work. I had moved from the Coney Island into a logistics brokerage and I remember picking up our son from daycare, coming home from work, walking into the apartment and he is sitting there just like staring at the front door, at the kitchen table. And as soon as I walked in he looked at me and says I fucking hate you. And from that moment I knew like this is going to be a terrible, terrible night. So from like six he kept me awake.
Speaker 2:From like six until 3 am he and what he would do when he would keep me awake is he would follow me from room to room. He would be screaming at me, trying to pick a fight with me, saying the most like obscene, hurtful things. That night I know that he whipped me with a wet towel repeatedly, like if I would try to like walk out of the room that he was in, he would like hit me with a towel on the way out. He punched holes in our walls that night and that was the first night that he gave me bruises. And the really messed up thing, the thing that would like piss me off the most, is that he would never give me bruises in places that I couldn't cover up. And I felt like you are such a fucking coward for that, because I'm like, if you're going to do it, just do it Like why do you? Why, like you know that it's wrong? That's why you don't just like do it for the world to see.
Speaker 2:And this, like I knew that this was abuse I think I had the word for it back then too but I tried to justify it by saying that he didn't hit me because he never used his hands to hit me. He always used other objects. So this night he threw a bunch of things at me too, like he would just like take household items and throw them at me, and so he ended up chucking a remote at me that hit the back of my hand so hard that when it hit me, my hand instantly blew up. Like it looked like I had a golf ball on the back of my hand. It was black and blue and green for such a long time. I do have pictures of that that I can share, and I just remember driving to work the next day with my hand still swollen, staring at it at a red light and thinking what the hell has my life become? What am I doing? But by then I just I feel like I was just so in it. I didn't feel like I had anyone or any place to turn to, so I was stuck. I feel I feel grossed out, like maybe I just need to resurface for a second. Take a drink. Oh, I can't believe that. Like I'm not even to the worst of it.
Speaker 2:So there was also cheating. I caught him on Ashley Madison and Tender often I even caught him trying to purchase a sex worker. Yeah, I have no words, I was just brainwashed. I was brainwashed and manipulated and groomed and he would gaslight me into thinking that what I saw really wasn't what I saw. You know how it goes. And then he would also create these like little assignments for me because I have left him.
Speaker 2:At this point this was one of the million times that I tried to leave him. I called my parents. They came and got me, I moved home. I was there for like a month, home to Ohio, I mean and then of course he gets back in my head and I'm like, nope, we need to work this out. We're a family, yada, yada. All this societal brainwashing that happens to thinking like being a single mom is so bad. I ended up going back and because I had quit my job to leave him, I didn't have a job to go back to. So he's like I'm going to create assignments for you because if I'm going to be putting in eight hours at work, you're going to be putting in eight hours of work here at the house.
Speaker 2:We had decided that we were going to work with a realtor to try to buy a house and we had been working with her for a while. We finally found one that we liked. We're in the process of like we're about to sign paperwork and he goes oh no, I changed my mind, so we pull out. We pull out and because, like we didn't re-sign the lease on our apartment, we had to go move in with his dad. We had no place else to go, cool. So he says you need to go organize our storage unit and clean it because we're going to have to go. You know, we're going to have to put so much more in there because we're going to move in with my dad for a couple of months.
Speaker 2:And I'm thinking, okay, yeah, like that makes sense, but to actually go in and get it as clean as he wanted to and have to send pictures, that is so embarrassing thinking about right now. Like who the hell, if I would meet him today, being the person that I am, I wouldn't even give him a second glance, never in my life. That's how I know how far I have come and I'm really proud of that. But I'm just remember I told you spiderweb thinking I'm going to go off on little side escapades. And you know what I think? It's because I know that I'm coming up on the thing that hurt me the most when I was writing my story, because this memory was unlocked and I was like I cried a lot, okay. So yeah, let's just get into it.
Speaker 2:Anyway, I spent all of my time in this bedroom downstairs that when we lived at his dad's house they had like a spare bedroom downstairs and even during this time, like he would go out drinking and just like not come home until like two o'clock in the morning, and so it was just me and the baby baby, and I didn't feel like I could say or do anything to his parents because, like we're living with them, they're not charging us anything, so I'm just like trying to suck it up, you know. And when he would come home, I would actually decide to like move and sleep in my son's toddler bed just to get away from him at night. And I don't know if you've ever seen that show um made on Netflix, but there's this scene where Alex sleeps in her son's toddler bed just to get away from him at night. And I don't know if you've ever seen that show made on Netflix, but there's this scene where Alex sleeps in her daughter's toddler bed to avoid her abusive boyfriend coming home late at night. And I remember watching that scene and being like holy cow, holy cow, did they get this one right. That one got that whole show. I swear that one got that whole show. I swear they made it after my life. It was crazy.
Speaker 2:So he had this one friend who supplied him with drugs and when he came home from that friend's house was the only time that he would ever want to be intimate with me. Did I question if he was gay? Yes, multiple times, I guarantee we all have. So he decides that he's going to come home from hanging out with that friend one night and not take a no for an answer. And I didn't want to do anything. Number one, because at this point, like I just didn't, I didn't feel like it was worth it. And two, our son was in the bed sleeping beside me. I'm going to cry and I couldn't.
Speaker 1:I didn't want to do anything Fuck. I didn't want to do anything that intimate in front of my child, but I had to because he wasn't going to take no for an answer and luckily, luckily, my son never woke up. I just remember when it was finally over.
Speaker 1:I just rolled over because I felt so dirty, so embarrassed, I felt like a bad mom and I just went to sleep telling myself that I just wasn't ever going to let myself think of it again. I just pushed it out of my mind and that's the thing that came up for me while I was writing my story. It just hurts, really bad to remember, you know. Oh my god, I wish I had commercials, because this would be a great time to head to a commercial break. Oh my god, oh Whew, that one hurt, that one hurt.
Speaker 2:That one hurt that wasn't the first time that he'd pulled something like that. It wouldn't be the last, but it was the first and only time where there was a child present. And now that I'm healing, I'll periodically go through these phases where I just don't feel like I can get clean, and I feel that I've heard that this is common with sexual assault survivors. But now I'll purchase shower gloves and like the African nets and scrub and I'll use all of them in the shower at the same time. I'm like in the shower scrubbing the shit, scrubbing my skin off literally, and I'll be in there for a good 30 minutes and still come out of the shower feeling like I'm not clean. We end up both agreeing that living at his dad's wasn't working out for us. We start really trying to find a place to move into. We decide that we're gonna purchase the trailer, and when we move into the trailer, this is where things start to get really, really fuzzy for me, and I've always kind of said that like I'm not ready to tell my story because I don't remember.
Speaker 2:And this is the part that I think I try to block out. I'm sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger such as that one, but you said two parts, so I'm going to give you two parts. Thank you for listening, thank you for being here, thank you for maybe perhaps crying with me. I'm so sorry about that. Listening back to it just to record this outro so I knew where I was. I cried again and I often get the question like how do I get through this part? How do I get through this part? I just left? Tell me what to do, and the only way through it is through it. Even in your healing journey, the only way through this for me is to allow myself to feel the reality of what I went through, to allow myself to cry, to allow myself to sit in this until I fully accept what has happened and that is just as much part of self-care as taking a walk outside or a bath could be classified as self-care. And in putting this together for you, putting it all out into the world, there are new memories resurfacing, even since I recorded this. So I do not think that this will be the only time that I tell my story. I'm just going to keep writing down the things that resurface, the memories that come back to me, and maybe we'll revisit this once a season.
Speaker 2:I want to be completely transparent with you that this is how it works for some survivors. We don't remember everything. I want to be completely transparent with you that this is how it works for some survivors. We don't remember everything. I want to be completely transparent with you also on how I possibly include everything that's ever happened in an hour long podcast. You know, in two parts. So that's where we're at right now. I will let you have part two next week, so look forward to that.
Speaker 2:The end of my relationship was definitely the most dangerous, so we will be getting into some of that and trigger warning. I cry again, so be prepared for that as well. I love you. Thank you for being here, and when I say that, I really do truly mean it. I need this sisterhood, like so many of you do. Telling your stories is healing and hearing the similarities is healing, so thank you for being here. If you haven't yet, check out my website. It's thesurvivorsisterhoodcom. There is a link to join the Sisterhood group on Facebook if you would like to do that. I post in it almost every single day, and so do other survivors.
Speaker 2:You are welcome to talk about the podcast episodes. You're welcome to talk about the things that you're currently going through. You're welcome to ask questions and get some support. We would love to have you in there also. You can follow me on social media. If Facebook isn't your medium, I'm also on Instagram and on TikTok. I will leave my handles for that in the show notes below. I would love to see you in between podcast episodes on my socials and get to know you a little bit better. That would be so cool. I really do think these experiences are. They're so genuine and beautiful. I love everything about it, so join us there if you would like. Share, rate and review this podcast. It definitely helps push us out and find the people who truly do need this, whether it's for their healing or they're trying to leave abuse. So do us a favor rate, share, subscribe and remember that the world is a better place because you are in it.
