Summary

Erika's husband was delightfully charming, quickly sweeping her off her feet. However, within the first three months, Erika realized he was two different people. The first was the person she met, a lovely caring spirit. But the second person was the opposite, calm, calculated, and with a penchant for doing terrible things. It's a story of financial abuse, coercive control, animal abuse, language, religious beliefs, social abuse, intimidation, stalking, post separation abuse, divorce, custody, dissociation, puzzle pieces, self discovery, sexual coercion, weapons, denial, recognizing abuse, isolation, punishments, single moms, lawyers, being homeless, research, and much more. *** TRIGGER WARNING - There is discussion of sexual coercion, animal abuse, and extreme physical initimidation in this episode. *** You can purchase Erika H's book by clicking here.
