Many abuse survivors ask themselves, ‘How did I not see this?’ once they finally recognize the dynamics of their abusive relationship. In our recent interview on the Christian Single Mom podcast, Stacey Womack, founder of Abuse Recovery Ministry Services, delves into the emotional and psychological reasons why victims often struggle to identify the abuse. She shares how feelings like shame, fear, and self-doubt can cloud a survivor’s understanding, and why support can be so hard to find—especially within faith communities. This insightful discussion highlights the importance of awareness and compassion, as well as the steps we can take to be a lifeline for those navigating these painful situations.
