Summary
The most dangerous people in our lives are not strangers, they are people we know and love. For a child, the most dangerous people are their parents and step-parents, and for adults, the most dangerous people in their lives tend to be their partners. In this eye opening podcast, you will learn about the statistics that suggest that while we teach children about stranger danger, w are neglecting to fully comprehend the totality of the abuse that occurs simply because adults have access to powerless children.
This is not to suggest that all parents and all step-parents are abusive; however, statistically speaking, one of the contributing factors to child abuse and neglect tends to be associated with a nonbiological step-parent.
This podcast comes with a trigger warning, because it speaks the truth, a truth that many may not be ready to accept has occurred to them, a truth that a parent may not be ready to face about their choice in a spouse that had access to their children, or it may sting the eye of the one who has neglected and abused a child, or spouse.
The intention of this conversation is to fully acknowledge what is statistically true, so that we can all become more aware and responsible for who has access to our children, in addition to becoming more conscious of the fact that our partners are the most dangerous people in our adult lives. It's not the guy hanging out on the street corner at 3:00 am we need to worry about. It's those we love who may associate love with control, dominance, and power. Once we become entangled with them, we need to be more cognizant of the quality of the relationships we engage in.
If you're codependent, you are at great risk for becoming entangled in toxic relationships dynamics and that is not your fault.

| 0:50.6 | So this is an early trigger warning for anybody who is sensitive to the topic of child abuse, |
| 0:58.4 | sexual abuse, incest. This is a trigger warning. So this is going to be a tough conversation, |
| 1:05.3 | but we need to have it. And how I use my platforms is to really demystify this idea of codependency and narcissistic abuse, |
| 1:17.3 | but also to elevate conscious understanding of the implications and the problems that you will experience |
| 1:27.2 | that maybe somebody, well, definitely somebody who is |

| 1:59.6 | everything under the rug, chances are you're going to sweep everything under the rug. |
