They choose this behavior, and that's why I consider it monstrous: torture and terrorism.
Imagine enduring 19 years in a marriage filled with narcissistic abuse, only to face more torment through the divorce process. That's the reality Jeanelle Maraid, a pseudonym she uses for anonymity, faced. As a proud mother and tireless advocate, Jeanelle's story on 'The Never Give Up Show!' is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Her experiences reveal the deep flaws in the judicial system and highlight the urgent need for changes in domestic violence laws, including the addition of coercive control language.
Jeanelle's heart breaks daily over the helplessness she felt during her marriage, unable to protect herself or her daughter. But instead of letting this pain consume her, she has channeled it into activism. She serves on the board of Rise From The Ashes, a grassroots non-profit dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for legal reforms in the U.S. She's also involved in numerous survivor support groups and activist organizations.
In this episode, Jeanelle discusses the various types of abuse she endured and the manipulative tactics used by her abuser. She shares her journey towards healing, emphasizing the importance of therapy, community support, and speaking out against abuse. Her story isn't just about survival; it's about turning pain into purpose and fighting for change. Whether you're someone who has faced similar adversities or know someone who has, Jeanelle's story offers valuable insights and hope.
Tune in to hear her powerful testimony and learn about the critical changes needed in domestic violence laws to protect victims and their children.
