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.

57. Patrisha McLean - Married to Famous Recording Artist and Marital Abuser. Aug 18, 2023

Show notes

Patrisha McLean was married to a world-renowned singer for 29 years. It started as a fairytale relationship but devolved into a 24/7 nightmare. For 29 years!

Like many survivors, it took Patrisha a long time before she recognized this as classic domestic violence. Getting out almost cost her life.

This episode teaches what can happen to anyone who doesn't know the warning signs. It also informs you on what to do when these red flags are detected.

56. Detective Kristine Holt - "The DV Case She Will Never Forget" Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

WARNING: The descriptions of events in this episode can be triggering.

I was contacted by Detective Kristine Holt (Texas) who is a loyal fan of the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast. In fact, she uses it for training.

Besides a wealth of knowledge about handling "domestic" cases, she wanted to speak with us about a case she will never forget. The domestic violence abuse suffered for years by Lisa Waldon is straight out of a horror story. It is ghastly. For that reason, this episode comes with a warning that it might be too shocking for some listeners.

I promised myself long ago, I would never look away from the realities of domestic violence. But the description of this case was often a struggle for me.

Besides hearing a description of the vicious cruelty one person can put upon another, you will also experience the courage a woman had to save her children and herself.

53. JaNae - Pt 2 of 2 - A Marital Abuse Story with Many Twists. Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

This is part two, the final episode of JaNae's story. .

JaNae was studying to become a nurse. Tony was studying to be a doctor. To all who knew them, this looked like the perfect marriage of two smart professionals. Their parents were happy and proud of them. Nobody expected what was really happening in their “perfect world”.

At home, when Tony couldn’t get his way or felt like dispensing some abuse, JaNae was bore the brunt of it. But she felt married for life and tried to get them to peace and maybe counseling.

Nothing seemed like it was working.

As time wore on, Tony described the pressure he was feeling in school. It made his time sharing in household duties negligible. His way of dealing with the stress was to play video games all evening and into the morning hours. JaNae carried the entire load of housework, and that’s while attending to her het own demanding studies.

This story has several twists I never saw coming. I surmise you will feel the same way when you hear this two-part story.

51. "Molly" - Pt 2 of 2 – A Marital Abuse Story You will Never Forget. Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

Molly’s story is so much like others you might have heard. She met someone she really liked. He had some issues, but she wanted to continue with the relationship.

They met in college. They had little in common, but he was so different and exciting. He fit neatly in the category of a “bad boy”. Her parents and her brother thought he was bad news, but Molly carried on with this relationship.

Molly felt she could make him better by loving him. She thought he was worth it. He used dominance over her. He told her how to act, how to dress, how to live. He also had a difficult time telling the truth. Add to that his jealous feelings about everything she did.

Her friends could never understand what she saw in him, but she married him anyway. He did his best to portray himself as the victim — the person who gave up everything for her.

Credit goes to Molly for sticking with this man in marriage as long as she did. She took him to marriage therapists which did little to solve a union that could never work.

Breaking away was not easy but there is much to be learned in seeing how Molly did it.
