44: Escaping an Abusive Relationship with Grace Stuart

Grace Stuart opens up about her harrowing journey through domestic violence and the psychological manipulation that kept her trapped for years. From the early “glimpses” of control and gaslighting to the trauma bond that blurred love and survival, Grace shares how her abuser used charm, addiction, and coercive control to isolate and dominate her. She speaks candidly about sexual coercion, emotional abuse, and the illusion of “potential” that keeps so many survivors from recognizing danger until it’s too late.Now an advocate for survivors and educator on abuse awareness, Grace exposes the tactics of narcissistic partners, the impact of addiction and trauma bonding, and the courage it takes to leave. Her story is a powerful reminder that abuse thrives in silence and that sharing our stories can help others recognize the signs, break the cycle, and reclaim their voice.Grace’s Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/gracee__elizabethhhttps://linktr.ee/gracestuart01Grace’s Podcast - Why She Stayedhttps://www.instagram.com/whyshestayedpodcasthttps://tr.ee/QrEH4OI5sWResources:National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.)https://www.thehotline.org1-800-799-7233 Text “START” to 88788Find local resources: https://www.thehotline.org/get-help/domestic-violence-local-resources/Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Centerhttps://dvsacenter.orgU.S Department of Justice’s Legal Assistance for Victims Programhttps://www.justice.gov/ovw/legal-assistance-victims-programResources for assistance - financial, housing, necessities, food, etc.https://www.findhelp.orghttps://www.domesticshelters.orgBeyond the Monsters Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/beyondthemonsters/https://linktr.ee/BeyondtheMonsters*Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
