18 Years in an Abusive Marriage: How I Got Out | Lyndsey Hackford on Domestic Violence

For 18 years, Lyndsey Hackford lived inside a marriage that slowly took her voice, her identity and nearly her life. What started as manipulation became control, isolation and physical violence, with her children witnessing things no child should. Lyndsey walks me through the nights she didn't know if she'd survive, the police, the escape, the trial, and the long road to rebuilding. If you're living with abuse or supporting someone who is, this one's for you.
