You will find many lists of warning signs if you google. You can also see a list of warning signs on the WhenDatingHurts.com website, if you like. Danielle's story has warning signs of a toxic relationship that will show up throughout. Listen to her interview and learn where she made mistakes. Danielle's story underscores that breaking free is never easy. It can take multiple attempts. From the outside, it looks so obvious: Just break up. Get your stuff. And get out of there. Right?

Om Podcasten

A "must-listen-to" podcast on dating abuse and intimate partner violence. This series is hosted by Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS (Amazon). This book is about the murder of Bill's daughter by her ex-boyfriend. Bill and his wife, Michele, lost Kristin to dating violence when she was brutally murdered in June 2005. It was 20 days after her college graduation. FACT: 1 in 3 WOMEN suffer serious physical violence at the hands of intimate partners during their lifetimes. Typically, it happens between the ages of 16-24. But can happen at any age. It doesn't need to happen.  Bill interviews experts with keen insights into dating and domestic violence: • "DV" agency counselors • Law enforcement professionals • Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence • Actual survivors of intimate partner violence After you listen to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, share it with those who need to hear it... Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic.
