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.

99. "Natalie" - Pt 2 of 2 — Hear it from a Marital Abuse Survivor Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

Natalie puts her life on full display so others can learn from her missteps.

In her late teens, she consistently overlooked warning signs that would have saved her from years trapped in a relationship that never felt right.

Her first date with this person could have been enough, but eventually found herself in a marriage that was completely one-sided. Her power and control was being ceded from the start.

The power in this interview is seeing how we sometimes put to the side our feelings and allow others dominance over us. You will learn how the passage of time made it increasingly more difficult for Natalie to break free.

97. "Holly" - Pt 3 of 3 - Saving Her Marriage Nearly Cost Her Life Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

This is part three of a three-part story.

Holly wasn’t looking for a boyfriend the evening she met Phil. Soon after they met, she felt they might have a future together.

Well, they did have a future. A horrific one.

Sometimes abuse survivors display levels of loyalty that go beyond our imagination. This is one of those stories. We find ourselves pulling for Holly to stop the madness and break away from Phil. She goes quite far beyond that. She wanted this relationship to work, and Phil wanted to hang onto her and take her down with him.

Holly had it in mind that whatever came their way, she was going to save both him and their relationship. Listen to this breathtaking story and see how she was fortunate to make it through this ordeal alive.

94. Lisa Waldon - Pt 2 of 2 - Most Horrific Marital Abuse Dec 25, 2023

Show notes

The two episodes in this story come with content warnings.

You may find when listening to this story that the content is too intense for you. If that becomes the case, I strongly urge you: do not continue listening. The content and its descriptions tell of the intense emotional and physical abuse a husband put on his wife.

I thought many times about following this story, but I promised myself years ago that listeners deserved the option of knowing about the worst of dating and domestic violence without looking away.

Lisa Clayton is a hero in real terms. She was so nice, sweet and innocent when she dated and married Josh Holden. Josh was, and remains today, a very sick-minded individual. He eventually held no conscience or barriers in what he would do to keep Lisa in line under his thumb.

The purpose of the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast is to inform. You will find in this episode that warning signs that are overlooked will lead to the worst kinds of behavior when a relationship continues to be as unhealthy as it can get. In this story, Lisa Clayton gets to know the real Josh Holden. You will too.

92. Carla Clanagan - Mother of Brutally Attacked Teen Daughter Dec 24, 2023

Show notes

In 2015, I met with Carla Clanagan at many domestic-violence related events. Besides her limitless work in the domestic violence field, Carla was also the founder of "In His Eyes", an organization committed to helping women labeled as ex-offenders.

In 2017, Carla's daughter, Makenzie, was brutally attacked by an ex-boyfriend. She was fortunate to survive al that happened. After much rehabilitation, Makenzie is now using her tragedy to speak out on intimate partner violence.

Carla dedicated her life to helping young women stay safe from the epidemic we both know only too well as dating violence.
