One of the FINAL episodes of this Podcast is this HUGE trauma dump. ...... OK WTAF? I haven't talked about this much and even in this episode I struggle to talk about it. This podcast is all fine and dandy when talking about what happened to me but a whole different story when talking about kids. Ive shared this though to show an important message. That its not about us and our feelings like our personal desire for revenge. It's about the suvivor/victim- the child and what they want and need- What is best for them. Keeping their best needs as a focus is the way to go forward after such horrific crimes that continue to happen to children each and everyday around the world because of these sick men.

This episode discusses the book and film It Ends With Us along with the drama in the media surrounding its two stars Justin Baldwin and Blake Lively. Ive recently had covid so I have to pause at one point but it is all good.

This is a pretty chill, many target, loose chat episode before we get back into the serious episodes next time. It goes for aaaaaages but you can chip away at it over the coming weeks while you walk the dog, drive to and from work or clean your home-multitasking like a boss.

If you've been on social media lately you'd have heard about women (and many men) saying they'd choose to be alone in the forest with a bear instead of a man, highlighting the natural fear we have always held shame over and hidden. This episode I talk about that and also touch on last weeks episode.

*Trigger warning- Discussions of suicide* Please google for helplines in your country if anything is triggering in this episode. xx After seeing on Tik Tok and Reddit the information that has come to light about the tragic passing of Mica Miller in the US, I have changed today's topic to this. It was important to share what happened to both myself and the victim prior to me in order to show how Suicide can be part of DV. It's a long episode as I go into detail about the one before me who did end up attempting to take her life and then what was done to me. If coercive control is being made illegal in many countries, the psychological warfare and direct conscious push by these abusers should eventually be able to be criminalised. While they did not complete the task they set it up, much like ordering a hit. While we don't expect them to be charged with murder, the prevalence of this needs to be studied so some justice can be given to the countless families who lose loved ones in this way. RIP to Mica and many condolences to her family and friends. May God bring you peace and wisdom at this time. xx EPISODE DISCLAIMER CONTACT:  Email in to share your story or for advice with ANY relationship dilemma or dating nightmares at:  [email protected] *Please discontinue advertising emails asking for $ to edit the podcast - I make $0 so you are welcome to a percentage of $0.* ABOUT:  Love is a Battlefield was initially intended to be an educational podcast about domestic violence / domestic abuse and all kinds of relationship drama.

This past weekend, THOUSANDS rallied and marched all over Australia (minus Darwin - Sorry!) to say No More to male violence against women as more women were murdered by their partners this week. Over the weekend we lost another 1 or 2 women murdered by their male partners while we marched. In this episode I talk about attending one of the rallies and how that felt. I discuss the politicians who were in attendance at various rallies and their responses. I go on tangents such as comparing the governments response to male victim one punch attacks compared to women being murdered. The difference in stats of both at the point the government took action will alarm you. Have they taken action though? We are still yet to see anything so the numbers continue to climb. xx EPISODE DISCLAIMER CONTACT:  Email in to share your story or for advice with ANY relationship dilemma or dating nightmares at:  [email protected] *Please discontinue advertising emails asking for $ to edit the podcast - I make $0 so you are welcome to a percentage of $0.* ABOUT:  Love is a Battlefield was initially intended to be an educational podcast about domestic violence / domestic abuse and all kinds of relationship drama.
