1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 We're back! Sorry for the hiatus, but life threw us some curveballs (we'll tell you about them in this episode). But really, we're here to talk to Mae Scott, survivor and author who so bravely shares her story of what abuse can look like up close: not just fear, but confusion, manipulation and a slow erosion of reality. Then comes the fun part (read: not fun at all)—navigating a legal system that doesn’t seem to want to believe or even listen to women.&amp;nbsp; It’s raw, frustrating, and necessary listening about what survivors are really up against—and why believing them matters more than ever. Got a story we should be talking about? Or a guest we need to have on? Tell us everything at ToxicThePodcast.com. You'll also find some sweet merch bound to start conversations.&amp;nbsp; If you’re dealing with an abusive partner, you don’t have to navigate it alone. You can connect with a trained advocate through&amp;nbsp;DomesticShelters.org. And if this episode lit a fire under you (rage counts), don’t keep it to yourself. Share it. Follow. Leave a review. Help us get these stories in front of more people who need to hear them—and maybe a few who really need to hear them.
