This episode may be highly triggering for survivors of abuse and trauma. Listener discretion is strongly advised. This is the first in a two-part story with Erin. We interviewed Erin about three years ago, and her story has remained on our minds ever since. So, we're bringing it back to you. Erin was taken advantage of while she was suffering through a highly sensitive passage in her life. Her mother had just passed away. Charlie presented himself as the right answer at the right time. Like many victims, she was an innocent, generous person. The kind of target predators are looking to lure straight into problematic relationships. She became easy prey. The warning signs of potential danger were there, but Erin didn’t interpret them. You will learn plenty from this powerful episode. You will see how difficult it is to break from an accomplished abuser. You need to hear Erin's story. Charlie's control over Erin goes off the charts. His demands are ridiculous, but her generous nature forces her to comply with his every request. Be sure you share this WHEN DATING HURTS episode with someone who's dating. Only through education can we help others to see what is plain sight.
