299. End of 2025 Wrap-Up with WDH Host, Bill Mitchell

We are excited to have Anna Astwood return. Anna's first visit was in early 2025.

Anna is a survivor of teen dating violence that occurred about 25 years ago. She has lived with this trauma every day since then. As a survivor of both sexual assault and teen dating violence from the ages of 12 to 18 years old, she knows the pain and the guilt of what relationship violence brings. She knows healing can take place.

In this episode, Anna will tell us what she is doing now–which includes finishing her book which will be published in 2026. She also speaks about healthy relationships in elementary school classes.

We have to say how proud we are of Anna. She has taken her pain and used it as motivation.

Here are links to Anna's lifesaving work:

The "Love Doesn't Hurt" Mission Statement: ⁠Love Doesn’t Hurt ⁠ [https://www.lovedoesnthurtinc.org/our-mission]is a nonprofit dedicated to ending teenage dating violence and supporting those affected through education, empowerment and community support. 

Here you can ⁠find the Trauma Journal Anna created.⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Guided-Journal-Heal-Trauma/dp/B0FP92QF6K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=B7E31PHF3HF2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SVV8As3K2YBkyt2UOIT5tA.6VllrI8TKntOhesHSIvdUQH1_4jxxylZcUle6BkzFPU&dib_tag=se&keywords=anna+astwood&qid=1765296526&sprefix=anna+astwood%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-1]

301. Anna Astwood - A Return Visit from a Survivor of Severe Dating Violence

This is a very short episode. I explain why I am removing three episodes that ran recently. There were with Michael Clark and his wife, Lynn Clark.

When I ran these interviews, it was with the best intentions and expectations. It is clear I was incorrect in what our listeners would accept.

My loyalty and respect has to be with my listeners – first and foremost. Many are survivors and some are working their way out of abusive relationships. For that reason, I needed to remove those episodes.

Please listen to my explanation.

And thank you for listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast.

300. Why I am Removing Three Interviews

"Sara" is a domestic violence survivor. She is also my cousin.

Sara appeared to be in a perfect marriage. A nice home and three healthy boys. But her ex-husband eventually devolved into a serial abuser. She did all she could to coerce him into getting help, but nothing seemed to work. When living with this man became dangerous, she needed to break free. 

Listen to a narrative of patience and courage. Sara took years before she could tell her story. We applaud her for sharing it with us on the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast.

277. Rereleased  - "Sara" - My Cousin is a DV Survivor 

This story comes with trigger warning about domestic violence with an emphasis on physical violence.

This is an interview with Lynn Clark.

Lynn is married to Michael Clark. He is the founder and executive director of the Ananias Foundation. It's an organization committed to ending domestic violence at its roots by working with those who have caused harm.

Michael has supported thousands of individuals seeking to break free from abusive behavior by offering guidance and hope for change.

What makes Michael Clark so distinct? He is a former domestic violence offender himself. He has transformed himself, and now he writes, speaks, and leads from his hard-earned perspective.

This specific interview is with Michael's wife.

She married him knowing he had been an offender. Of course, she needed to know he had dedicated his life to dealing with his abuse. She was convinced of this, and now they have been happily married nearly ten years.

You should find this interview useful if you have felt offenders can never turn their lives around. Lynn will tell you Michael has done this successfully.

Bill Mitchell

Here are important links that are discussed in this story:

• ⁠⁠⁠Ananias Foundation⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.ananiasfoundation.org/]

• ⁠⁠⁠Michael Clark Author⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.michaelclarkauthor.com/]

• Michael's two books:

⁠⁠⁠From Villain to Hero⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Villain-Hero-Encouragement-Domestic-Violence-ebook/dp/B07VV36P5Z/ref=monarch_sidesheet_title]

⁠⁠⁠The Truth About You⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.amazon.com/Truth-About-You-domestic-violence-ebook/dp/B0FM4HHZJ4/ref=monarch_sidesheet_title]

Michael Clark went from villain to hero himself. It's one thing to stop being an offender. It's another two to let his past become public.

For Michael, this was a remarkable transformation. We hope you find his story inspirational.

297. Lynn Clark - She Married Michael Clark, a reformed DV Offender

This story comes with trigger warning about domestic violence with an emphasis on physical violence.

This is a return interview with Stephanie. We are so happy to have her back after several years.

Stephanie always had a hard road ahead of her. From the moment she was adopted, there were scant times when life showed her an easy path. And yet, she has continually remained ultra-positive.

It's clear the one person Stephanie believed in most was herself. Listening to her story, your heart will go out to her years before she ever met up with Michael. It's a good thing, because this man brought pure hell into her life for three years. 

Working together with law enforcement, they were able to turn the tables on Stephanie's boyfriend, her serial abuser and such a despicable person.

It's exciting to have Stephanie return. Her life is nothing like it was years ago. She is happy and thriving, along with her husband, Neil.

You can listen to her previous episodes: Look for episode numbers 42, 43, and 44 on the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast.

294. Anne Wintemute - Pt 1 of 2 Pts - Co-Founder and CEO of "Aimee Says" 

This is a story about severe stalking. This is part two of two parts.

Whether it fits under the heading of domestic violence isleft to discussion. But I wanted you to hear it so you know how bad stalking can become.

Hazel never had it easy. Her parents were little to no help for her and her brother. They needed to figure everything out for themselves. It was a home at full disfunction.

Hazel had a boyfriend. And the boyfriend and Hazel used to be friends with Dee. The three became a unit. They did everything together.

Dee didn't see the relationship as did Hazel. He was waiting for his moment to claim Hazel for himself. It's seems if he could not have Hazel, at least he could get s close as he could by stalking her. And that lasted nearly 20 years...

292. Hazel - Pt 1 of 2 Pts - She was Stalked for Nearly 20 Years

A "must-listen-to" podcast on dating and domestic violence from Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS, which is about his daughter's murder by her ex-boyfriend.

Bill and his wife lost Kristin to dating violence when she was brutally killed in June 2005.  It was 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 16-24 years of age.  But can happen at any age. And it doesn't need to happen.  

Bill interviews experts with keen insights into dating and domestic violence:
• "DV" agency counselors
• Law enforcement professionals
• Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence
• Actual survivors of domestic violence

After you listen to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, share it with those who need to hear it... Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic.
