Episode description

When you hear a tale of abuse, whether it's in the news, a friend or a family member, and whether it's physical, emotional or financial abuse, do you find yourself wondering why the person doesn't just leave? Why do they stay?

They know why. They know exactly what it takes to leave an abusive relationship.

In fact, survivors have often left many times and the obstacles to being alone force them back to their abuser.

Joining Mandy for this Conversation about leaving an abusive relationship are Jackie List and BreAnne Meyer with Safe Shelter of St. Vrain in Longmont, Colorado. Safe Shelter offers services to victims of abuse, working with them to develop their safety plan for remaining in the relationship or leaving.

The national domestic abuse hotline is 1-800-799-7233 and the website is http://thehotline.org.
