A "must-listen-to" podcast on dating abuse and domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence. .
Hosted by Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS (Amazon), this book is about the murder of his daughter by her ex-boyfriend.
Bill and his wife, Michele, lost Kristin to dating violence. She was brutally murdered in June 2005, just 20 days after her college graduation.
FACT: 1 in 3 WOMEN suffer serious physical violence at the hands of intimate partners during their lifetimes. Typically, it happens between the ages of 16-24. But can happen at any age. It doesn't need to happen.
Bill interviews experts with key experiences in dating and domestic violence:
• Actual survivors of intimate partner violence (dating abuse and domestic violence)
• "DV" agency counselors
• Law enforcement professionals
• Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence
After listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, be sure to share it with those who need to hear it... Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic. It is real.
The WHEN DATING HURTS memoir (paperback, eBook, audiobook) is only available on Amazon.

184. Lisa Waldon Pt 1 of 2 - The Most Horrific Marital Abuse
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 55:15
The two episodes in this story come with content warnings.
This is part one.
You may find when listening to this story that the content is too intense for you. If that becomes the case, I strongly urge you: do not continue listening. The descriptions tell of the intense emotional and physical abuse a husband put upon his wife.
I thought many times about whether to publish this story, but I promised myself years ago that listeners deserved the option of knowing about the worst of dating and domestic violence without looking away.
Lisa Clayton is a hero in real terms. She was so nice, sweet and innocent when she dated and married Josh Holden. Josh was, and remains today, a very sick-minded individual. He held no conscience or barriers in what he would do to keep Lisa in line under his thumb.
The purpose of the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast is to inform. You will find in the episode that warning signs that were overlooked and led to the worst kinds of behavior when a relationship continues to be as unhealthy as it can get.
In this story, Lisa Clayton gets to know the real Josh Holden. You will too.

183. "Abigail" - Her Boyfriend was a Serial Rapist.
Season 4 · Episode 46
Tuesday, August 27, 2024 • Duration 01:03:54
Abigail was 18 when she met him. She was taken by the idea that he played in a very well-known Seattle band. The idea that he wanted to pay attention to her thrilled Abigail.
By the way, this man was 28.
See how a young woman who trusted someone she didn't know well was lured into a hyper-unhealthy relationship. She learned the hard way about what can happen. We can each learn from her.
Abigail had not intended to take her story to the world until she heard the WHEN DATING HURTS podcast. We thank her for choosing to tell us what happened.

84. How an Abusers Thinks. Our First Installment. Pt 2 of 2
Season 3 · Episode 69
Friday, November 24, 2023 • Duration 10:43
Content/Trigger Warnings: domestic abuse, domestic violence, alcoholism, and graphic violence.
This is part two of a two-part narrative.
What you hear on this WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast episode was created by artificial intelligence. It is not a real person's voice.
The words spoken are a composite of beliefs and concepts expressed by dating and domestic abusers found within notes and interviews. They have been collected over nearly two decades. They have been combined to form complete ideas and thoughts.
The purpose of this episode is to illustrate how abusers often portray themselves as the victims. There is not one "portrait" that fits all abusers, of course. But let it be said that many never take ownership of their words or actions, and they justify any abusive and destructive behaviors.

82. Katie Campbell - Saving Pets of Survivors with "RedRover"
Season 2 · Episode 38
Tuesday, November 21, 2023 • Duration 35:23
The WHEN DATING HURTS podcast has covered many facets of the domestic violence issue. But this one is new.
Abusers often have patterns of violence towards all members of a household including children and pets. It’s difficult enough for the abused to find shelter for themselves. For that reason, many survivors stay in abusive homes for fear of subjecting their pets to continued abuse if left behind. And sometimes, it’s not only abuse, it’s torture or death.
RedRover, established in 1987, sought to do something to bring animals out of crisis. We will talk about the work of this wonderful organization with Katie Campbell, RedRover’s Director of Collaboration and Outreach.
Contact RedRover here.

80. Sebastian Pt 2 of 2 - Host of "Get Over Him" Podcast
Season 3 · Episode 64
Thursday, November 16, 2023 • Duration 46:44
Sebastian Soul has been a sought-after international dating coach for over a decade. He is also the host of two very different podcasts: the “Get Him Keep Him” podcast and the “Get Over Him” podcast.
In our two-part conversation, Sebastian and I took turns interviewing each other. The expectation was our final edited interview would appear on my podcast and one of his.
I found Sebastian to be deeply knowledgeable and a font of insightful information about what’s really going on when two people are dating. He knew more about dating and domestic violence than I thought he would. I’m certain you will find listening to our interview will be useful in many practical ways.
