Survivor Story: Married by Myself

Today’s guest is Laurie Sullivan, a survivor of emotional abuse and sexual infidelity at the hands of her husband, a prominent leader in several churches they attended. Laurie outlines her story from getting married at age nineteen to a man she loathed in childhood to eventually finding freedom years later. 
Christ is at the center of Laurie’s story, showing Himself to her throughout her custody battle for her children and her third marriage to a good man. Listen in to this eventful story of Laurie’s journey out from abuse. 
Key Points From This Episode: Why Laurie married a man she was originally disgusted with. How a pencil and a taco can demonstrate the concept of gaslighting.  Why dating someone for a long time doesn’t necessarily keep you safe from emotional abuse.
