This episode helped me realize that my last relationship was truly abusive. Fortunately I left and am with a wonderful man now but I always looked at myself to find where I went wrong. Noe I know there was nothing I could have done better.

Melanie can you please make a new album? You are a living legend. Just imagine a Scary Spice to the max r&b album.

Great interview found mels book very helpful when a friend was trapped on abusive relationship it helped me understand what she was going through. Fortunately she has managed to leave and is getting on very well with her life now. It was interesting to hear how Mel is moving on years later and great initiatives with the HR departments hopefully it will be rolled out across many more companies.

Im 28, and at 26 i date a 41 yr okd man (he was fine) but he turn out to abuse me very badly both physically n verbally. He wanted to control me. Ive escaped but i know what mel’s tlking about n its HORRIBLE LIFE TO LIVE. I hope all women being abused escape :((( life is so short. I hear a quote tht helps me “one day ur going to wake up, and the wrinkles will be there, and you’ll ask yourself what happened to time?” It makes me cry, dont give ur life to a piece of trash.

Mel B 😍😍😍

[@wildewildestrawberries]

Mel B's honesty is refreshing. I just wish she had acknowledged that her children were abused as much as she was. Possibly in ways that she still doesn't know. A monster to her was just as terrifying or more for her children..I'm glad they're all safe. May they be free of abuse for the rest of their lives.
