Maryann Petri: The Hidden Toll of Divorcing an Abuser
I think that our society has to realize that so many people have a mental health illness condition. And you know, I'm so happy, even since I began advocating and I started with mental health advocating, and I'm sure, since you started advocating and speaking to all these people didn't realize how many learned more and more about what's going on.
Divorce is tough, but what if you're escaping an abuser? In this episode of 'The Never Give Up Show!', Bailey Smith sits down with Maryann Petri, author of 'Dismantling Family Court Corruption'. Maryann's story is one of resilience and courage as she navigates the harrowing family court system. She doesn't just talk about the legal battles; she dives into the emotional and mental toll that comes with divorcing an abuser.
From PTSD to anxiety and depression, Maryann sheds light on the hidden impacts that many face but few discuss. Her journey is a testament to the need for advocacy and reform in a system that often feels rigged against the vulnerable. Whether you're dealing with a similar situation or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the struggles and the importance of mental health awareness.
