Hey it’s Lindsay. In this interview, I tell you my story about leaving an abusive relationship behind and starting over as a single parent.
It’s really important to me to tell this story. It’s been one of the main reasons for me to start this podcast with Carmel. Since leaving my relationship, I’ve been shocked by how many other people tell me they have similar stories.
In my 20’s and 30’s, I was building a family. I was busy parenting my kids and helping my partner to run a business. We owned a house, planned for the future, and had a lot going on.
It may have looked good from the outside, but on inside our home was a different story.
Through a series of small realizations, I found the support and courage to leave that relationship 10 years ago. Since then, I’ve parented my 3 children on my own.
I can’t believe how much we’ve grown as a family and I’ve changed as a person since leaving that relationship. Our life feels completely different now. And I am happy, peaceful, and more and more confident.
