Thank you for sharing Ian I can relate a lot to this and because I was always lied to I am curious if she was telling the truth about having brothers in organised crime, God Bless and wish you every happiness for the future.

Thanks Rory. You always have nteresting conversations, even when they are more serious topics.

❤

Shes such a tremendously heroic soul ❤

What an amazing man. Thank you for being an advocate.

Shocking what happened to him and never defended himself against that awful woman .

Hi Rory, Thanks for another episode. Your interviews are always very interesting.

That's another very interesting interview, Rory, well done mate. Also, Happy Anniversary for last Saturday. I hope you had a FABULOUS day x

You are a kwonderful

i don't understand why she's not naming names of people who exactly did this to her. she even told multiple times that one of the men is still alive and a very known public person. i don't understand why no one can't do anything about this. pretty sure this pedo rings exist to this day as well.

Its a well known fact that women are abused more than men and there would be uproar if it was a woman who suffered this BUT she was SOME PSYCHOTIC BITCH. What she did in his own house was un-believable - if its correct to say HE IS LUCKY to be alive. HOPE the Law threw the full force of the law at her. Michelle's picture & details SHOULD BE OUT there like the most wanted on a law enforcement agency so no one else suffers what this man went through. Her brother's were probably a figment of her imagination to give her more power. How would he ever feel safe or happy back in his own house again. Losing her power - hope Michelle got a taste of her own medicine in jail.

My goodness! May you continue to heal and be blessed with a happy, healthy life!🌷

Best explanation I ever heard , so brave

Hi Rory

I was brought up in an environment where my father terrorised my mother, myself, 4:01 and my brother and sister. He was sexually abusive to me, and I ran away from home at the age of fifteen. Abusers are vicious cowardly bullies, and I applaud those who survive, and achieve success in their lives.

I've listened to many of Anneke's interviews. This was a great job by the interviewer. ❤

So evil poor man

Jealousy is a HUGE issue. Jealousy is insanity. Run for yr life.

Great interview mate! Keep up the good work.

Another insight to other people's troubles, Rory. Great podcast x

Situations like this is why I am afraid to be in a relationship

this is part of the reason myself and so many people my age are terrified of dating. i'm a young man, i'm only 20 years old, i've never even entered the world of dating, and i'm not sure that i ever will. it's just so terrifying that the person i trust enough to open up to and love could be physically abusive, deal me permanent damage or kill me, and when i reach out for help i end up in prison. it's horrifying to think about, really, and i know i'm not the only one who feels this way. i know i can't cause a paradigm shift in how our society and the justice system is built, but i'd like to hope this is something that could be changed in my life time.

LIAR !!!!!

Another interesting interview, full interview well worth a listen.

Grrreat interview, inspirational guest ! Ben, you are a true advocate of lived experience.

In NZ we have support groups for men in every city and some of the smaller towns. They are all run by men, and there are even safe places for them to go and stay. They can be found at the front of the phone book and one magazine listed al of the places with phone numbers to call, all throughout NZ.

Another belter of an interview, Rory. It was so interesting, as I can relate to some of the heady days of being gay in the 70's and 80's. Well done again ❤

More men need to feel safe to speak out . 💜 A survivor and a woman. Abuse is Abuse. I hope you have healed, She was A wolf in sheep's clothing. You ARE a decent guy, never forget that! ❤ from 🇺🇸. What an awful Harpy. Truly insane. What a clever plan! It is a sin nobody helped you.

I feel you, Annekes story inspired me to save my life, truth 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am glad you speak out on what happened to you. People often do not understand what domestic violence really means. She should not have any access to your home. However, I am not so sure that they would have acted different with females, who are abused. Some of them suffered many attacks, with the police involved. But I am so happy to hear that you are out of this situation now.

I will break my silence too, and share my story as well. Thank you, for this podcast!

Went through something similar, stayed for the babies sake. She then accused me of child abused, after years of investigation Social Services awarded me my daughter and forbade her unsupervised contact. Horrendous memories of a woman I once loved

My comment was removed for some reason Rory so I left it on you insta .

A powerful statement. Nice to here your feeling better now.

I loved this podcast with fats Timbo . She really is a lovely person and it angers me that people were mean to her , just because she was much shorter than them . Very well done, Rory .

Thank you Ian. As a fellow survivor, I've learnt alot about the DV perspective from the male side and it is the same relationship with a potentially very different perspective from onlookers. If a woman has a bruise a first thought is DV (and that's not to downplay a womans experience they are the same as any survivor) but the contrast is a man who has been assaulted instantly looks like a trouble maker and one to avoid and that locked you in a horrific place even more so. So thank you, I've learnt something to look out for, for potential DV in men.

An absolutely joyous positive lady, enjoyed the chat immensely

Very moving and positive

Inspirational

Interesting

Amazing journey

Morning Rory. Thanks for an interesting episode. It sounds like Jon lives life at a slower/more relaxing pace

So devastating 😢 Thank God you came back from this terrible ordeal 😢❤

Excellent!! Thank you for this!

Thank you Rory for having me on your podcast and increasing awareness so we can change laws and support survivors and those who work with them🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️

1st You have a great Podcast, Rory.

I'm glad Lisa survived her terrible childhood and has blossomed into this lovely lady. Good work, Rory.

Very Well Done Lisa and Rory! I applaud your continued efforts to illuminate and expose the vile segments of our society and how, exactly, they operate in such a covert fashion. Lisa's story is told via her bravery and innate ability to overcome, and she's gone on to turn a horrific story into an opportunity to help other survivors unpack their ordeals and understand they were not at fault, they were not a terrible person, they did not "ask for it". I know from personal experience that it takes years of dealings with the repercussions of S A, and all of the players involved, which can then be unraveled to finally view the twisted thinking involved, and it's worth every moment to work with a therapist (like Lisa) to get to the other side of the maze and to rediscover the real You. Beyond that, exposing abusers for what they are is paramount to increasing awareness and dismantling the veiled evil intentions these twisted minds use to harm others for the sake of their perversions. Thank you, Lisa and Rory, for all you do to help others!❤

Oh Rory, that is horrifying, such a sad thing to happen to a child. It boils my p*ss (sorry for the expletive) when this happens to children. Well done for tackling this sensitive issue and affording respect and dignity to Lisa. Trev.
