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 sit down with Cathrine, Naomis friend. She tells us about how she experianced Dick and how hard it was to stand on the outside looking in not beeing able to help. She also tells her about some episodes where Dick was aggressive and showed he's true self on accident.
The audio is not the best again, we will get better at that, sorry.
Episode 13: New Girl, Same Scams
Episode 12: Financially ruined!
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 ❤️
