WHEN DATING HURTS

A “must-listen-to” podcast on dating abuse and domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence. .
Hosted by Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS (Amazon), this book is about the murder of his daughter by her ex-boyfriend.
Bill and his wife, Michele, lost Kristin to dating violence. She was brutally murdered in June 2005, just 20 days after her college graduation.
FACT: 1 in 3 WOMEN suffer serious physical violence at the hands of intimate partners during their lifetimes. Typically, it happens between the ages of 16-24. But can happen at any age. It doesn’t need to happen.
Bill interviews experts with key experiences in dating and domestic violence:
• Actual survivors of intimate partner violence (dating abuse and domestic violence)
• “DV” agency counselors
• Law enforcement professionals
• Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence
After listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, be sure to share it with those who need to hear it… Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic. It is real.
The WHEN DATING HURTS memoir (paperback, eBook, audiobook) is only available on Amazon.

149. Jamie - Pt 2 of 2 - Victim... Survivor... Criminal Prosecutor. Mar 27, 2024

Show notes

Every survivor story comes with reasons to listen carefully and learn the many facets of dating and domestic violence. This story is certainly no exception.

For those of you thinking domestic violence doesn’t happen to people like you, Jamie’s narrative stands as evidence to the contrary.

She was a college graduate. A law school graduate. And then a prosecutor in a district attorney’s office near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

What is so ironic? She was the prosecutor of criminal cases oftentimes like what she was experiencing within her personal life at that time. And yet, she was not thinking of her difficulties as abuse.

When she realized she was technically a domestic violence victim, she felt guilt and shame for not coming forth and taking the kinds of legal steps against her abuser she would have urged her clients to take.

Jamie wants to underscore dating and domestic violence can—and does—happen to anyone in any profession. This is what finally helped her turn the corner on her shame.

This interview is her way to reach out to the world and use her story to help shine the light of knowledge about abuse.

147. RERELEASED - "Caitlyn" - Most-Listened-to Episode - DV Survivor Tells Heroic Story Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

I met "Caitlyn" in November 2009 moments before I gave a speech about my daughter's dating violence murder.

What Caitlyn described about her abuse was the most horrific story I had ever heard -- short of murder. It continues to disturb me even now.

I was fortunate to conduct this interview with Caitlyn. Her story shows how bad domestic violence can get, but also demonstrates how strong a determined woman can be.

There is no person I respect more than Caitlyn. You will soon know why.

146. Sarah - Pt 3 of 3 - Married to Emotionally Abusive Man Mar 21, 2024

Show notes

This the final part in a three-part story.

Sarah’s story of abuse starts off a bit slow but then it really gets rolling.

It covers many of the warning signs (red flags) of what became an unhealthy relationship, and later, and awkward, disrespectful, one-sided, abusive marriage. Plus, there were children involved.

Sarah somehow managed to stay true to herself. She never became as awful as the behavior that came her way from her husband.

There is so much to be learned in this heroic narrative about a young woman trying to make sense and live with someone when she was not prepared.

This is Sarah’s survivor story.

143. Lee Ann - Pt 2 of 2 - Survivor of Deception, Degradation & Two Deaths Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

This is Lee Ann’s story part two of two parts.

Our interview with Lee Ann, who lives in Florida, covers a lot of dating and domestic violence topics. You’ll hear about love bombing, overt narcissism, emotional and physical violence, and the rise and fall of a fortune made and lost.

There is coercive control, deception, even degradation. You will also hear of the deaths of two ex-husbands. It’s all in this conversation.

From living in a manor house with a housekeeper, to living on the run after calling in police to break up a domestic dispute, Lee Ann has seen it all. And she has experience at all.

And through it all, Lee Ann has been a determined survivor who found plenty of strength and she continues to recover.

Lee Ann has never told her entire domestic violence story to anyone before.

This is Lee Ann’s story.

This time, I'm the one being interviewed.

It's good to know our podcast has the opportunity to be talked about before a whole-new group of listeners. This is one of the surest ways to grow our listening audience.

If you do not know my family's story, this is a good opportunity.

140. How an Abuser Thinks. Our Second Installment. Mar 06, 2024

Show notes

This episode comes with content and trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, domestic violence, and graphic violence.

The voice you hear on this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast episode was created by artificial intelligence. It is not a real person's voice.

The words spoken are a composite of beliefs and concepts expressed by dating and domestic abusers found within articles and interviews. They have been collected over nearly two decades. They have been reassembled as complete ideas and thoughts.

This episode illustrates how abusers portray themselves as victims. There is not one "portrait" that fits all abusers, of course, but many never take ownership of their words or actions, and they justify their abusive and destructive behavior.
