Episode 9: Behind Closed Doors: The Harsh Truth of Intimate Partner Abuse

Ex football player Zac Stacy made headlines when a video surfaced of him physically assaulting the mother of his son. Stacy fled the state and was subsequently apprehended. Now the ex girlfriend has had a change of mind (and heart). She says he shouldn't go to jail and "deserves a chance to be better." Sadly, this is a common narrative with women who are still in love with their abusers. Some women live to tell the tale of how it feels to be on the receiving end of domestic violence...and some don't. Join me as we uncover true stories of women who suffered at the hands of male abusers.
