For many survivors, it is the beginning of a different battle—one fought in courtrooms, through custody disputes, legal filings, financial strain, and systems that are meant to protect them.</p><p><br></p><p>In this powerful episode, Tara sits down with survivor and single mother Melissa Issa to discuss the often-overlooked reality of post-separation abuse. Melissa shares her deeply personal journey of navigating litigation abuse, courtroom trauma, parenting under pressure, and the emotional toll of ongoing control after leaving an abusive relationship.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation shines a light on the ways abuse can evolve after separation—becoming quieter, more calculated, and often more invisible. It is an important reminder that leaving is not always the end of the story.</p><p><br></p><p>Join us for this honest and eye-opening discussion about resilience, survival, and the urgent need for trauma-informed systems that truly protect survivors.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Listen now and help us amplify survivor voices.</p><p>💜 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.</p><p><br></p><p>#ThroughTheEyesOfSurvivors #DomesticViolenceAwareness #PostSeparationAbuse #LitigationAbuse #SurvivorVoices #BreakTheSilenceAgainstDV #HealingAfterAbuse #CustodyAbuse #TraumaInformedCare #SurvivorStrong</p><p><br></p><p>📞 Need Support?
