116: The Survival of Cassidy Stay

Domestic violence is a vicious cycle of power and control; 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the US will fall victim to some form of DV in their life time. Ronald Haskell abused his family for years, keeping them in his control with rage and fear. Finally with help, his wife and children were able to escape. But their escape would come with an unfathomable price. This is the story of both tremendous loss and the beautiful resiliency of one amazing teenage girl.
