She Speaks with Shara- Episode #3- The Rest of The Story
On the last episode, you heard a portion of my life story, in all of its raw, dark moments. In this episode I attempt to share some deeper reflections on some of the details of that time period, such as signs leading up to the abuse, how I was particularly vulnerable at that point in time and my best, non expert advice for recognizing when you could be susceptible to abuse.
Bear in mind, this is never a survivors fault. Abusers exploit many small moments long before the "big" moments happen. Some of them may purposely seek out partners in these more fragile states, others may just be pre disposed to exploiting their partners when the opportunity presents itself.
My hope in this episode is to give some more context to the story and what I have tried to piece together as I rebuild life after this event. This is also an attempt at helping people realize when they or a loved one are in the midst of an abusive relationship and some ideas for extricating yourself from it or navigating a conversation with someone you see could be in one.
