Episode 021 - Surviving an emotionally abusive relationship, with Nadia Mori

In this episode of the Single Mother Survival Guide Podcast, Julia talks with single mum Nadia Mori about her experience of being in an emotionally abusive relationship, and how she got out of it.

We also discuss what exactly emotional abuse is (and the fact that it is a form of a domestic violence), the red flags you should watch out for (for a potentially emotionally abusive relationship), and strategies for leaving an emotionally abusive relationship.

Please note that this episode may act as a trigger if you have been a victim of domestic violence. It is also advised that this episode is NOT listened to in earshot of children.
