I have read a lot/heard a lot about domestic violence, but nothing like this presentation gives so much insight about a complex issue like this... Thank you!
"And Conor saw his mother being beaten by his step-father, which is one of the worst things you can do to a child". Thank you Leslie for saying this, it is so true.
Please talk more on the gaslighting and crazy making. Women who experience this should know that when a male is abusing their heart rates actually drop making them appear calm when the police arrive while the female who is very upset with abuse appears crazy when the the authorities arrive.
The bit exactly an hour in where she says she wished Connor would write a book....that made me do a double take. Brilliant lady and I really enjoyed her book.
I just filed for divorce from my abusive husband of 31 years. I was too scared to leave. I felt “safer” with him. When I was with him, I could monitor his moods more closely. We did not live together, I had kicked him out. This past February he came to my home, broke into my home by breaking a sliding glass door with a hammer. He then kicked in my locked bedroom door. He proceeded to beat me and choke me. I don’t know how this stopped. He has been in jail since that day. He will be out soon. I am terrified.
first she said there was not hint of violence in him in the beginning she would have laughed at if told her he was going to be assaulting and beating her. New the story is she wanted to move any from her seat next to him when they met but she just didn't wanna hurt his feelings
I went through this. The profession with the highest rate of domestic violence is the police, the second highest is the judiciary, the third is the medical profession. Little wonder most women don’t escape.
Before they moved to New England, she mentioned that his abusive stepdad and his mom were living nearby. Don't you think that he actually should've confronted his stepfather because of how he destroyed his childhood? That how he needs to forgive him because I still believe that he is letting his stepfather continue to control him even after he succeeded in about every way possible. I believe that if he can terrorize someone who loves him, he can at least confront someone who obviously doesn't care about him at all.

This woman got so lucky that she was believed and her abuser let her go. Her leaving could have gotten her killed.

Hi Jae Linn, any updates? Are you safe? It’s best to leave the State and start over elsewhere.
2:47 Leslie starts her story.

I’ve just listened to Mel B on audible Brutally Honest as she mentioned you & like Mel you are amazing x
Abusers are in absolute denial.

I get it, I experience it's almost exactly my story but he can't get a gun thank God
GG ,what was that all about
Did he actually wanted to kill her?
yes eventually- it's more about control though, that's how it starts - if they can't get control then death is their way to total control
What’s the difference.. the actions are clear!

In the book Connor said he gloated to Leslie about performing a martial arts move on his step father & he was shocked. Connor owned his own dojo.
You don’t forgive the guilty

Same mind set as an excuse for his behavior. I can fix it mentality is real!
