Making a “Great Escape” from an Abusive Relationship

I have ab-so-lute-ly outstanding news to share! The Advocate, the premier—and Number One–international on-line and print LGBTQ media outlet, has just published my commentary on Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A).

In this important piece, I discuss my very own personal experience with IPV/A– and how it has impacted me. Additionally, I reveal why—as both a journalist and author—I’ve made this demeaning, demoralizing and potentially life-threatening behavior my clarion call. IPV/A is the overarching theme of my “Nothing Can Tear Us Apart” series of novels. “FRENZY!” is the brand new installment.

Thank you Advocate for assisting me in continuing to shine a bright light on Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse! To read my commentary, visit: https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2016/12/06/making-great-escape-abusive-relationship

I’be experienced physical and emotional abuse in one of my previous relationships. It was a very dark period in my life and the scars are all too real. In the end, my ex wanted to be with other men and his ego was so big that he thought that I would still be waiting for him when he was ready to deal with me again. I had descended into drug use which brought me down even further. This occurred when I was in my twenties. I am now in my fifties but the memories feel at times like they are right around the corner.
