Episode Details

You are about to hear part one of a two-part story with Alissa.

This is a teen dating violence story. It does not include physical violence to any great degree, but it makes the point that a relationship can be quite abusive even without the presence of the physical part.

This interview is one you might want to listen to with teens present, both in high school or college. You will hear about warning signs that were overlooked.

Breaking up is the most dangerous time, especially when the abusive partner is highly controlling. Alissa is a true survivor, and a very fortunate survivor. Most stories like this have far different endings.

This is Alissa's story.

NOTE:
