This is part two of three parts. Stephanie always had a hard road ahead of her. From the moment she was adopted, there were scant times when life showed her an easy path. And yet, she has continually remained ultra-positive.   It's clear the one person Stephanie believed in most was herself. Listening to her story, your heart will go out to her years before she ever met up with Michael. It's a good thing, because this man brought pure hell into her life for three years.Stephanie's saving grace came when she heard of a law enforcement veteran and threat assessment investigator who specialized in intimate partner violence. Working together, they were able to turn the tables on Stephanie's boyfriend, her serial abuser and despicable person, Michael.This WHEN DATING HURTS episode comes with a "trigger warning". This story is intended to show how bad domestic violence can get. It demonstrates in raw terms how one person can inflict pain and suffering without mercy upon another.Bill Mitchell  WhenDatingHurts.comZencastrAn Attractive Offer for You:  Hey, if you're a podcast host, here's some advice for you: Use my special link zen.ai/whendatinghurts and use "whendatinghurts" to save 30% off your first three months of Zencastr professional.I want you to have the same experiences I do for all my podcasting and content needs.
