019. I Am Valid
Devin Preston
Executive Program Assistant at Encircle
Talking with Devin was eye-opening. She is wonderful and I’m grateful for the opportunity I had to talk with her and hear her story.
I know I am going to sound so extremely naive, but I never thought about abuse in homosexual relationships. Being raised in the LDS church, it wasn’t exactly something I had much experience with. But of course it makes sense. Why would a homosexual relationship be any different than a heterosexual relationship?
I wrote this in the show notes for Episode 013 from season 1, but again, if you are being abused in a relationship, get help. Please. You do not, I say again, do NOT deserve to be treated that way. You deserve safety and happiness. Never settle for less than that!

If you feel trapped in an abusive relationship, it’s time to get help. Visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline to take the first step.
They have a chat option,
or you can call 1-800-799-7233
Please do whatever you need to do to get away.
You deserve better.
