Surviving Domestic Violence w/Donna Wayles

"Husbands love your wives just as Christ loves the Church and gave His life for her..." "...In this same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies." (Ephesians 5:25)

In this episode, Donna Wayles, author and domestic abuse survivor shares her story. Our conversation centered around how to spot red flags, spousal abuse, and how it's handled by the church.

Donna writes about her experience in her book "I'll Pray For You: A Christian Woman's Guide to Surviving Domestic Violence".

Donna's bio:
I am a wife, mom, teacher and domestic abuse survivor. My book chronicles my escape after years of abuse by my Christian husband to finding that God gives happier ever afters. I now live in Rhode Island with my four very spoiled bunnies, Skittles the cat, and my amazing husband and daughter. When I'm not writing or teaching I love to craft and create scrapbooks full of happy family memories.

As someone who has experienced domestic violence myself, I found this interview difficult. Unfortunately, domestic violence is very common. And not only in marital relationships.

About the Podcast

SoloMoms! Talk
Connecting the stories of solo moms globally
Welcome to SoloMoms! Talk podcast where solo (divorced, single, married, widowed) moms share their stories and gain a whole new perspective on their own lives.

Host, J. Rosemarie Francis welcomes dynamic guests who share their personal stories as well as offer helpful tips and strategies to solo moms globally, so they can live more joy-filled lives.

This show brings awareness to the unique experiences of moms raising their kids alone.  Because a solo mom is not always "single". She may be widowed like Shaniqua Garvin: https://bit.ly/3tJ5KSv; or divorced like Nicole Lonzano: https://bit.ly/3HVMzdg: or still married like Allison Banfield: https://bit.ly/3Co9InM.

Single moms make up a whole spectrum of families headed by a woman bearing sole responsibility for raising her children.
___________________________________
The podcast is designed to curate not only the struggles but also the triumphs of single moms around the world.  Expert interviews help to equip solo moms to become a better version of themselves, better parent/co-parent, and partner.
__________
I want single moms to know that they are not alone and they don't have to parent in silence.
Mission of SoloMoms! Talk Podcast is to: 
1) bring awareness to the struggles of single moms; 
2) shine a light on the positive impact they make on their families and communities; 
3) reduce the number of single moms globally, through education, connection, and self-education; and 
4) to help single moms see themselves as God sees them.
