In this gripping episode of Forensic Friday, we sit down with survivor and advocate @gracee_elizabethh host of @whyshestayedpodcast to shed light on the hidden tactics of domestic abusers — and the extraordinary courage it takes to break free.

Grace opens up about:

  • How the relationship began with charm, intensity, and “you’re my everything”
  • The subtle red flags that escalated into full-scale control
  • The trauma bond that made leaving feel impossible
  • The moment she realized her life was at risk
  • How she rebuilt her identity and now empowers others to escape

Domestic abuse doesn’t always look like violence — sometimes it’s isolation, fear, power, and control behind closed doors. Grace’s story is a powerful reminder that leaving is not a single moment, but a process of reclaiming safety, autonomy, and self-worth.

If you or someone you know might be experiencing abuse:
📞 National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)
💬 Text START to 88788
🌐 Chat online at thehotline.org
🚨 If you are in immediate danger, call 911

Trigger Warning: discussions of domestic abuse, coercive control, trauma

🎧 Listen now and share to help raise awareness — no one should have to navigate abuse alone.
