71. Sarah - Pt 2 of 3 - Dating Abuse Story from Australia

This is part two of three parts with Sarah.  Sarah lives in Melbourne, Australia and yet her story could have emanated from anywhere. You will recognize the patterns. Nice woman meets guy and falls for him. He seems like what she was looking for but begins to show signs of potential trouble. She ignores signs and stays with him. It gets worse, but she works around the rough spots.   We have heard it before, but it is good to hear it from someone we would not expect to be swallowed up in it.   There is much to be studied in this three-part narrative. Sarah is such a positive soul and the way she tells this story will keep you listening until she finally makes her way free.
