Barbra’s story takes time to tell. For that reason, it is presented to you in three parts. This is part one. Trigger Warnings!!!Barbra Walker’s story of abuse comes with serious trigger warnings about its content and descriptions. There is much to be learned from listening to her telling of what happened, but it contains potentially distressing material. Ms. Walker had never told her entire story at one time until she contacted the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast and trusted us to bring it to you from beginning to end.Like so many dating and domestic violence narratives on this podcast, the story begins with dating someone who is quite appealing. These are some glimpses of what would later be identified as red flags, but in those early days these are overlooked, and the relationship continues.Barbra Walker’s ability to detail every facet of all that happened is remarkable. And our opinion of her as a survivor, a loving mother, and a loyal wife holds our highest admiration. It was an honor to meet her and carry her story forward to you. Barbra’s deepest wish: that her story will inform those who are at any stage in being lowered into the nightmare of dating and domestic violence. She hopes they will soon find ways out as she did—but with much less trauma.NOTE: If you want to share your story of abuse on the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com Thank you for listening to our podcast, Bill Mitchell WhenDatingHurts.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Support for the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast comes from these wonderful sponsors: Sun & Swell If you're looking for a more planet-friendly pantry, shop Sun & Swell and GET 20% OFF site wide when you go to sunandswellfoods.com using the link mentioned in this podcast episode. • Use my special link to SAVE 20% on your order at sunandswellfoods.com.
