What you're comfortable sharing, would you kind of tell everybody like where you've come from and how you got to where you are within the parameters of your comfortability, of course?
14:15
Well, I definitely am an open book as you know, my memoir is out there and I do need to be a tiny bit careful because I do have ongoing litigation with my ex.
14:25
We're at our ninth court issue that we've had and it's just it's a case of post separation abuse and that's one thing that I think that my next project is going to be really shining a light on the tactics that happen in post separation abuse because especially men really go through sometimes after the breakup some really horrific things especially when it comes to regarding children and custody and things like that and so when you're a male and you're a survivor of of domestic abuse or psychological warfare as i like to call it you're automatically at a loss because for me, I'm six foot five.

I'm a big guy, you know, and at first glance, you know, you may think that I'm, you know, some tough badass or anything, but I'm a teddy bear.
15:14
I'm a softie.
15:15
I mean, I have a big mouth.
15:17
but there's nothing behind that.

Can I ask you a question? What do you mean you erased you? Ghosted you? Left you? No friends anymore?
11:46
And for you to have gone through what you've been through, And to find out some of the things that I had no idea about, like with Zoom and things of that nature, would you share some of that with us?
11:58
Yeah, and definitely it's a nightmare that so many people are facing because when you get out of a narcissistically abusive relationship, your brain is not working right.
12:09
And I'm three and a half years out of it, and I still deal with CPTSD daily.
12:15
I have days that I'm very low functioning because...
12:19
The trauma that I've gone through is so severe that sometimes my brain doesn't want to reconcile it.
12:24
So when I ended up leaving Florida, it was December 15th, 2022, I showed up at my mom's house.
12:31
Within 10 days of being there on Christmas, my abuser ended up letting me know that the state of Florida was pressing charges against me for battery poisoning.
