Beany - Pt 2 of 2 - Warning Signs Missed Almost Cost Her Life

The following story comes with trigger warnings due to both its content and graphic descriptions.
This is part one of a two-part story.
Beany Chalfant brought her story to me in an email. I knew she needed to tell her narrative to us.
By the time she reached 40, she had never been close to intimate partner violence. But all of that changed with one boyfriend. In the beginning, he seemed to bring everything she was missing, but before long, he was more than she could handle.
The story shows us, once more, that having no awareness of the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship makes it too easy to become swallowed alive by an abusive predator.
Beany reached the point where she found ways to live with the frequent emotional and violent behavior doled out by her boyfriend. In his twisted mind, he felt he could do anything he wanted. And when she tried to stop him, he resorted to threatening her life and the lives of her children.
How does anyone remain in a relationship this toxic for 10 years? Listen to the story and you will see.
This is Beany’s story.
