Confronting Domestic Abuse and Alcohol Misuse: Jenny's Story

Abuse is not just physical, and I don't want to upset anybody out there, but from my experience, physical abuse is the easiest to get over.
Ever thought about the hidden scars of domestic abuse and alcohol misuse? In this episode of 'Two Roads Travelled', Jo and Paula dive into a deeply personal conversation with Jenny, a business coach and survivor of lifelong domestic abuse. Jenny's journey is a testament to resilience and the long-term effects of trauma on mental health. She shares her childhood experiences with an alcoholic, suicidal parent and how these challenges shaped her adult life.
The discussion sheds light on the often-overlooked impact on children who witness such abuse, the stigma that silences victims, and the cycle of trauma that can follow into adulthood. Jenny's insights reveal the importance of support systems for survivors, especially those who appear successful but are still struggling. This episode offers a raw, honest look at the complexities of domestic abuse and addiction, providing listeners with a deeper understanding and resources for those in need.
Tune in for a powerful story of survival and hope.
