This is part one of a two-part story
My conversation with Charlee touches on areas we have not visited previously.
She was born a twin to a mother who disliked children. Her twin brother might have had it worse because her mother hated men.
It is debatable who made Charlee's younger years more miserable: her mother, her alcoholic, father, her sexual predator, stepfather, or her brother.
By the time Charlee reached her teens, she realized she was a lesbian. And that took her to places she had never imagined.
This story touches upon quite a lot of emotional abuse. In part two, there was also financial abuse mixed in.
This is Charlee's story.
NOTE:
If you are a survivor and want to share your story of abuse on the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, please email me: BillMitchell@WhenDatingHurts.com
The WHEN DATING HURTS book (paperback, eBook, and audiobook) can only be found on Amazon.
