| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Empowered Wife podcast where it's all about fixing your relationship without your man's conscious |
| 0:14.7 | efforts that you feel desired, taking care of, and special, even if your relationship feels |
| 0:20.0 | completely hopeless. I'm Laura Doyle and today we're talking about how to stop |
| 0:24.2 | his emotional abuse. I'm going to share the real reason your man is verbally |
| 0:28.6 | abusive and give you three steps to make him stop. My guess Bonnie was newly pregnant when she filed for divorce |
