Episode 20: Was I the problem ?

If you've been in an abusive relationship, are you ever left with the feeling of "was I the problem?" or "was it really that bad?".

Both Caitlin and Naomi have these thoughts from time to time, and we are so glad we have each other to talk to when it comes to that doubt.

This episode we cover a story of when Naomi had enough of Dick's rage, Its a story of being so scared your sure your gonna die but for some reason you still just stand your ground!

You can answer our question on Spotify, or DM us on insta or TikTok.

This episode editing Naomi is back, yay! Caitlin has done an amazing job while I was fucked up, lots of love to her 🥰

We have some major updates, even tho we don't deep dive in to it.

Episode 18: Facing a trial alone

In this episode Naomi talks about how she was forced to do one of the hardest things in her life completely alone… while ensuring Dick was ok (and had his lunch delivered to him of course). Retrospectively family and friends praised Dick for “being by her side”… but like anything with Dick except a gynecologist appointment… Naomi was alone.

Episode 15 we get more in to Dick's abusive rage, how he physically abused us and specific episodes that we remember.
We are both having a hard time putting some of it to words, but we where scared for our lives and some times believed "this is the end for me".
If this is not the day for you, skip this episode, this is and extra trigger warning.

Also, Naomi sounds tired because she was.. The recording is from 2am Norwegian time.. way past my bed time.

Episode 12: Financially ruined!

Follow us on TikTok or Insta for updates on new episodes and more @silencedat21

Caitlin's story about financial abuse (some of it). Caitlin has been thinking about this topic for a long time, and prepared her self to get to a point where she's able to talk about this, Naomi has heard bits and peaces here and there but not like this.
So Caitlin is in the car driving her son to daycare, she felt like she needed to talk about it now and we decided to record it. Therefore the quality is what it is, we probably will re visit this at some point, but for now this is what we where emotionally able to do.

And I am so fucking proud of her for even talking about this on the podcast ❤️
