The Echo Was ME

On this weeks episode its a little different. I was sick last week and never was able to put out an episode so I wanted to let you guys know what was happening in my life. We are moving!!!!!! We got an opportunity to move into a house and it was an offer we really couldn't refuse.

Holidays were always crazy and fighting and just never normal in my last couple of relationships. Now this year with my new Fiancé Joe we are seeing the differences and what can be normal. Their isn't arguing, Theirs not fighting about dumb things, we are having a normal holiday time and loving every minute of it

This episode is gonna be about how my ex would use my car against me, or withhold me from using it to get away. Just to cool down and just get away for a little. Or like the times she would slam on the brakes while driving with my kids and I in the car so I would hear and understand her.

On todays episode I interviewed a friend I have gotten to know more and more from work. She is a lovely lady and we have talked before about all of this but I said we need to save it for our first episode with a guest and here we are!

On todays episode we are talking about my big push to leave my marriage. My fiancé and I were best of friends and I confided in him for everything. He was the only one who would listen and not give me crap for not leaving and just hear me out. I cant thank him enough for just being there and just listening to me

This one is by far my hardest episode to talk about and open up like this about my personal life. Financial abuse from my ex led me to homelessness. Made it so we could barely afford things for my kids like basic necessities. She wouldn't help at times and get another job and that started it all and put us into the whole situation.

This is a big one to open up about my sexual and more personal life. So bear with me as I talk about it and tell you about my ex's and how they used sexual reward to either yes be into it or not.

I think we all have these thoughts at one point or another in our life. This is hard for me opening up like this and talking about the personal stuff. Bare with me as I talk and overcome all my emotions to get to where I need to be for my kids and for myself.

Just wanted to talk about my new relationship and what the differences have been. I thought it would be easy leaving my abuser but all the trauma is still there. I'm learning to work through it with time and a saying my fiancé loves to say day by day.

Being guilted by my ex wife into isolation was hard and so alone. Leave a comment and let me know if you have had this happen to you. You are not alone anymore, I'm here and I'll listen to you.

In this episode I talk about why I stayed in both my marriages even though it was rough and tough. I stayed because I thought it was best for the kids. All I ever thought about was if the kids would be okay and that's why I stayed each and every time. Also will be taking emails for if people want to share their stories and want to be heard anonymous or have their names in it. I'll do what...

This episode is gonna be about my second marriage and how she treated me. Through it all I stayed when I never should have but I did it for my kids sake. I thought it was best for them when in reality it never was. This is hard for me to open up and talk about and not have anxiety but I'm gonna try to do my best. As I talked about her in this episode I realized that there was so much more to t...

*TRIGGER WARNING*This episode is me talking about more of my first marriage and the things that happened.
