After letting him move into her home upon his release from jail, things spiraled out of control. He got her hooked on methamphetamine, and soon police became frequent visitors to her once peaceful home.

Despite protective orders, he refused to leave, leaving Jodi trapped in a living nightmare. In just 10 months, he managed to drain her of life, both mentally and financially. Even her sons sensed something was deeply wrong, though shielded from the worst of his abuse.

Overcoming manipulation, addiction, and the constant threat of danger, she finally managed to escape. But the battle wasn't over; it was just beginning. The process of healing and rebuilding her life was slow and painful. Therapy and support became her lifeline as she worked to regain her strength and sense of self. It is a journey filled with setbacks and challenges, but gradually, Jodi starts to reclaim her life.
