We are most fortunate to have this two-part conversation with Lt. Mark Wynn. This is part one. Part quest for justice. Part journey towards healing. Decorated Nashville cop Mark Wynn wrestles with his own violent childhood while working to reform decades of domestic violence mishandling, cover-ups, and abuse from deep within law enforcement.The film, “This Is Where I Learned Not to Sleep”, follows the story of Lt. Mark Wynn. Mark is a retired Nashville police officer with 20 years on the force.After surviving and escaping a violent childhood home, Mark has gone on to be one of the foremost advocates for supporting families facing domestic violence in this country. Mark has trained police departments in all 50 states and 16 countries. His work is not only vital but imperative as family violence continues to increase.Domestic Violence cases have increased by 25 to 33 percent globally since the Covid pandemic began. This shadow epidemic hides behind closed doors, but we have an opportunity with this film to bring the issue to the fore and help Mark on his mission to save families.“As Mark Wynn’s story tells us, domestic abuse is a deeper root and normalizer of violence than all the wars combined. Ending it is a path to peace.”—Gloria SteinemNOTE:      If you want to share your story of abuse on the     WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.comThank you for listening to our podcast,      Bill Mitchell      Website: WhenDatingHurts.comContent/Trigger Warnings: domestic abuse, domestic violence, alcoholism, and graphic violence.
