097 I am a DV survivor: Nelsy’s story of facing abuse

We trace an honest path from childhood chaos to a trauma bond, the slow reveal of coercive control, and the hard-won steps to legal protection and healing. We share practical tactics for safety planning, documentation, and building a support net when systems fall short.

• early conditioning of love tied to fear and instability
• love bombing, future faking, and isolation in the military context
• first assault after a challenge to control and image
• institutional betrayal by commands and inconsistent policing
• escalation involving the child and driving violence
• safety planning during crisis and evidence collection
• restraining order strategy, custody wins, and courtroom clarity
• boundary testing post-order and resisting the “gray area”
• advocacy through shelters, therapy tools, and community support
• survivor-led prevention and the need for accountability
