Thank you for giving her the space to speak without interrupting, so respectful🙏🏼 thank you for sharing your story Denise❤️

[@hollyjmc]

To have gone through such trauma and still want to devote your life to helping others, you’re a walking angel and the world is lucky to have you Denise. I hope you find more healing and thank you for sharing something so personal and vulnerable.

[@MrElmo641]

First time listening to this podcast and blown away by how this strong this lady is!

[@gracethomson3193]

What a podcast 😢 what an inspiration. Thankyou for sharing your journey. As tough/triggering it can be it can also save another life. I wish you the very best future 😘

[@carriewhylie9441]

Denise you are one strong woman…. Praying for you that you get the justice that gives you some peace at trial 🙏❤️

[@mookie1236]

Although our journey to our trauma may be different, a lot of this I resonate with. I felt so much anger when I heard prisoners can get pretty much instant access to a psychologist. I’m on an 18 month waiting list for my ptsd psych referral. What else resonated heavily is you’re left to pick up the pieces for what they’ve done. Despite all of the resources available, you’re left to pick things back up. Navigate relationships, jobs, day to day etc. It feels almost impossible to continue after traumatic situations. But we can show people that we’re here in spite of it. It doesn’t define us. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I still find it difficult to talk about my experiences, but I know that by sharing your story, you will help so many people feel like they’re not alone. Thank you Denise.

[@donnamakhsous1]

Such an amazing woman who has taken her horrendous lived experience and grown from it. So intelligent and articulate and shows that this is NEVER the fault of the abused. I'm sure this podcast will give so many others the strength to change their situation.

[@amandacrown7307]

that's a great statement Denise says when "she valued his safety more than your own".. speaks volumes .. delighted Denise is looking so well .. Way to girl !!🍒

[@kirstywelsh6011]

I can resonate with every single thing that Denise has mentioned, what a wonderful and Inspirational woman ❤ Keep glowing, keep growing 🌟

[@Viking_dame94]

Well done for speaking out about all this you went through! It's hard to speak up. I went through some serious sh!t and stayed with them because I knew I was stronger then others so stayed in the relationship to save someone else but I had to get out. And when I did I didn't tell a soul what happened and my family will never know because they don't need to. I have moved on and healed best I can. It takes bloody ages to get over it all. I still have ptsd from it all and flinch or say sorry for no reason etc my husband just holds me and says I'm safe over and over and I am thank fully xxxxx

[@rebeccastone9746]

This is such a good podcast. Denise tells her story so eloquently and the hosts are very compassionate and let her speak. Unfortunately I have heard many elements of this story before and this is harsh warning of how quickly things can escalate. Denise you are an amazingly strong women and I’m sure this will help other women.

[@MsHelen22]

Such wise words "givers need to set boundaries because takers never will" , you can tell she is such a loving caring person . Heartbreaking to listen to

[@kerridavidson2432]

😭😭 just took me hours to watch this, very hard hitting especially when you have been there yourself 💜 one year out and only starting the healing process you are a inspiration this story will help others xx

[@memorylane484]

Awh I'm so glad you got out, well done. Wishing you all the best for the future x

[@amyballantyne9204]

What an inspirational woman wow, cried the whole time.

[@christinamulligan1115]

You are truly amazing and inspiring for sharing your story Denise. i really hope that you can heal from this. And get the justice you deserve 🥰 I can relate to this because i went through similar myself.

[@shar2105]

You're amazing, Denise. Thanks for sharing your story and for helping others ❤

[@abbiehewitt8261]

Beautiful strong woman. Truly a heart of kindness. The fact you were also worried about him says a lot about your character. But I resonate with the you’ve had a hard life it doesn’t make you cruel. But being kind doesn’t mean giving in, it means you own your life. You dictate who deserves your kindness

[@skyconan1]

So sorry you experienced such trauma! I will pray for peace over your life and family 🙏

[@grainnereid3814]

Denise, you are an incredible lady .The world needs more people like you x

[@deborahknowles6541]

Oh Denise you poor beautiful lady.. god I hope and pray you get over this. I was stabbed at work and I have terrible ptsd . Sending love to you you’re a very strong person ❤️❤️❤️

[@maddygreaux7501]

She’s such a beautiful soul wish her all the best in her life and all the healing x

[@annettemichaelamccafferyod1485]

Can so relate to this, the live bombing, the boundaries and feeling embarrassed knowing youre being manipulated but feeling trapped to get out. Such a strong beautiful woman. So glad she got out. I was also in the caring profession and these guys definitely seek out caring people.

[@bigadamski66]

I've known you a few years Denise, this has shocked me and i'm so glad you are through this, so so strong.

[@DaveMasters1121]

These monsters always try and destroy kind, intelligent, beautiful and caring women. How could anyone hurt her like this. It's just so evil and so ridiculously pointless. What has he gained by doing this? It's absolutely disgraceful.

[@lornalashes]

Wow. Denise thank you for sharing your story. Your strength, light and resilience are your superpowers. I hope and pray with every ounce of my faith that the monster gets what he deserves. Your safety and your family's safety are more important than our flawed justice system feeling good about rehabilitating offenders. He deserves to rot. You are an inspiration and a positive light for so many. Wishing you all the happiness and healing you deserve.

[@Stetphanied17]

Denise is truly strong and inspiring. Her story made me so emotional and sick just at the thought of someone having to go through something so traumatic and life changing. I hope you live your life to the fullest and know you are amazing ❤

[@shannonadams3616]

This was such a shocking and traumatic story and it must've been so difficult to share. Denise is so inspiring, you can see her kind and beautiful soul radiating through her despite all she has been through. I have full faith Denise will have a lifetime of happiness and healing through her life

[@user-eu3du5ue9b]

Thank you for sharing Denise, you have been through hell and are an amazing woman. Hope you are doing ok and also your little doggy x

[@LaraJo8819EC]

😢😢 she's amazing, what a horrific ordeal...she's so brave xxx

[@joannecrawford782]

Thank you Denise, I am so sorry for what you have been through, I have no words 😢 you are an inspiration & a very brave Lady, I wish you all the best for your future. I was in a controlling & abusive relationship & I haven't been with nobody in almost 14years, but from listening to you, I hope & pray that I can take alot from this & start living. God Bless you Denise ❤🙏

[@cathleengreen2725]

She is amazingly strong and brave. The way she speaks about people is beautiful. 💛

[@eoneil1799]

What a wonderful articulate strong woman ❤horrendous domestic abuse she was exposed to ,so glad she lived to share her story x best wishes to you Denise God bless

[@CadenAviation]

What a brave brave lady, she spoke so well, and held it all together, i really hope and pray that monster is locked up for a very long time

[@shannonanderson9174]

Thank you for sharing this, I know it wouldn’t have been easy. The system is so wrong. My ex emotionally abused me the whole relationship and only ever put hands on me the night I tried to leave him. To this day, I can’t get a restraining order because in their eyes, he hasn’t done enough. Yet he has done everything this horrible person done to you running up to attacking you, to me. But it isn’t enough. I live in fear everyday in case I bump into him or he turns up to my work or house. I’ve tried to reach out for help and I haven’t gotten it after explaining everything, and it angers me so much that if he was to get locked up; he’d get it right away when he was never the victim. We wonder why people stay in relationships when we know we’re safer that way, no matter how much it wrecks us.

[@eljay2224]

Wow what an amazing woman. Cruel world where people so amazing can have such awful things happen to them. Never let them get you down Denise😎 💪🏼

[@aoifeodriscoll3072]

Wow what an inspiration this woman is so strong 💪🏻 can completely relate to this abuser receiving resources straight away from prison and then survivors (victims) left on waiting lists the system is so flawed!

[@dannasandilands1348]

This is fucking totally barbaric, im so sorry you endured this 😢 Im glad now youve found strength and have managed to get through this!! ❤

[@paulinejeffers3]

As hard as that was to listen too, this lady has helped so many people see how easily it is to be manipulated and not see it happen 😕 i wish u well ❤❤❤❤

[@annearmstrong6790]

God bless you Denise . You have such a strong beautiful soul . And a inspiration to others 🙏🏻💗

[@owencampbell8799]

I hope a lot of women listen to this and if they’re being abused and stalked they reach out.

[@jillianjades]

Thank you for opening my eyes 🩷🫶🏼

[@sarahgillanders8578]

Come from tik tok video. She is one strong lady!

[@garethharrison3843]

This one got me. What a woman 💙

[@danielledobbin2400]

Bless your heart Denise 😢. Your amazing

[@patriciaf6266]

What a lady you are Denise. Your trauma has only made you stronger and a more beautiful person, if that was even possible ❤. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness in the months and years ahead. Go and be happy. You are an amazing human being. God bless you🤗😘🩷🩷

[@ruthletts9752]

So right. When I tried to leave an abusive relationship five years ago I was held captive at gun point. Three days without access to a bathroom. No food. Repeated sexual abuse. I used a cup for a toilet and disposed of contents through a small crack in a window when ever he went out to eat. I managed to escape when he was asleep. I’m still hyper vigilant. I had counselling for ptsd. Still get triggers of panic from certain words and I still get nightmares. But I’m a survivor not a victim now. CBT therapy helped me with irrational thoughts. I carry an alarm everywhere with me.

[@michelletowey1128]

Thanks for sharing Denise.. Had a similar story myself and everything you say resonated with me. There should be a register for these men like there is for sex offences

[@glarkin99]

Omg what a brave strong woman you are 😢❤ I hope you have an amazing life u deserve the world and nothing less ❤❤

[@jackiecarson7154]

Very brave girl, I wish her peace & happiness in her life 💕🥰

[@lindseylaing5354]

Be good if a psychologist saw this and offered her free therapy. I couldn't imagine going through that. I pray you have an amazing life from now on ❤

[@maureenheath5472]

Congrats. What an inspiration

[@Kira-yj5sc]

I wish I'd known about love bombing before getting into my previous relationship. So scary how that works. I'm so glad she got away, such a strong lady!!

[@user-bh8qm1wm4f]

Jesus Christ. I’m so sorry she went through this. This is horrific 😢

[@Ciaraofthenorth]

God bless Denise. Great character strong woman.

[@Paula-xe5jz]

Strong girl what a horrible story ❤

[@Clairebui]

His charges are NOT enough. Scary. I’m so sorry.

[@brealowe5833]

I missed what he was charged with, what were the charges?

[@dominylll]

Eugh they’re such calculated abusers it’s like they all follow the same narcissist text book

[@11223344princess]

Pure evil poor woman I hate this world

[@fayeand3]

[@margarethoyle4887]

The bastard needs putting down , you are a brave woman don’t ever let anyone eve4 tell you differently you did nothing wrong. I wish you all the best for your future xx

[@saka.goatftbl21]

[@thehiddenmukbangGirl]

She's wrong about the rehab centres. There s.r coselios in Newry. Asha house in omagh. Ward 15 in Downpatrick and northlands in derry. I've suffered addiction for years. I'm going back to asha for treatment next month. I get those injections gave to me to save me from overdosing. I'm sober at min tho 😊x

[@Samualross]

Not to be rude or nothing but this isn’t about you she’s telling her trauma and all you can say is she’s wrong then continue talking about yourself and about how you’re sober yes it’s a good thing that you’re sober but you couldn’t have even said I’m so sorry or I’m glad your better now that is her point of view on rehab centres I’m sorry if that offendeds you but she clearly is traumatised and was struggling and it probably took a lot for her to do this and your too busy worrying that she didn’t think that there was rehab centres that help in Northern Ireland

[@samkenna1390]

Some of those are for alcohol only and won't accept deug addiction referrals

[@thehiddenmukbangGirl]

To clarify I wrote this comment before I seen her full story and feel like a right dhead now!! This girl suffered the most traumatic time!! So glad she's doing better and got away from that monster. Big respect 🙏 👏 🤍🤍

[@emmamcdonagh]

Out of all she has spoke about, that's what you took from this???
