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 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.
