What drives someone to seek a life free from domestic abuse? In this gripping episode, Stephen Arterburn welcomes family law attorney and survivor Charlene Quint, who bravely shares her personal journey through domestic violence. Charlene paints a vivid picture of her experiences, highlighting the terrifying transformation from the charming 'Dr. Jekyll' to the abusive 'Mr. Hyde'. Her story is not just one of survival but of courage and determination to break free from the chains of abuse.
Charlene discusses the common traps that victims fall into, such as financial dependency and manipulation, and offers practical advice on how to create a safety plan. She emphasises the importance of reaching out to local domestic violence shelters for support and resources. With a touch of humour, she describes her book's 'fake cover' designed to protect victims from their abusers—a testament to her ingenuity and understanding of the delicate situation many find themselves in.
Stephen and Charlene explore the biblical perspective on divorce, urging listeners to recognise that staying in an abusive relationship is not what God intends. They challenge the misconception that divorce is the ultimate evil, reminding us that God also despises deceit and abuse. The episode is packed with insights on recognising signs of abuse, making informed decisions, and finding strength in faith.
It's a beacon of hope for those trapped in the cycle of domestic violence, encouraging them to seek peace and freedom. As Charlene says, "There's a promised land on the other side that is free of abuse." This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking guidance or understanding about domestic violence recovery.
