Physical and sexual violence against women doubled in compared to, and this is largely due to, isolation as a result of covid.
Ever wondered how someone finds the strength to break free from an abusive relationship? Meet Nicole Regher, whose story is both harrowing and inspiring. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Nicole to discuss her terrifying experience living with an abusive husband. Nicole initially mistook his controlling behavior for care, but once married, his true violent nature emerged. Her journey from victim to advocate is nothing short of remarkable.
Today, Nicole works at Gillian's Place, a shelter in Niagara, where she helps other women escape similar situations. Nicole opens up about the red flags she missed and the emotional abuse she endured, offering crucial advice on recognizing these signs early on. The episode also sheds light on how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated domestic violence, making it even harder for victims to seek help.
Janice and Nicole emphasize the importance of safety plans and the role of shelters like Gillian's Place in providing a lifeline for those in need. This episode is a powerful reminder that help is available and that breaking the cycle of abuse is possible. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or someone you care about, Nicole's story will resonate deeply and offer hope.
