WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast artwork

A "must-listen-to" podcast on dating abuse and domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence. .

Hosted by Bill Mitchell, author of the memoir, WHEN DATING HURTS (Amazon), this book is about the murder of his daughter by her ex-boyfriend.

Bill and his wife, Michele, lost Kristin to dating violence. She was brutally murdered in June 2005, just 20 days after her college graduation.

FACT: 1 in 3 WOMEN suffer serious physical violence at the hands of intimate partners during their lifetimes. Typically, it happens between the ages of 16-24. But can happen at any age. It doesn't need to happen.

Bill interviews experts with key experiences in dating and domestic violence:

• Actual survivors of intimate partner violence (dating abuse and domestic violence)

• "DV" agency counselors

• Law enforcement professionals

• Parents of children who were either lost to, or somehow survived, dating violence

After listening to the WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast, be sure to share it with those who need to hear it... Remember the 1 in 3 women statistic. It is real.

The WHEN DATING HURTS memoir (paperback, eBook, audiobook) is only available on Amazon.
