HOUSTON (TCN) — Millions of people each year become victims of domestic violence. Some of those instances can even lead to fatal consequences.
But there are resources for the men and women who are victims and find themselves in that number.
Ronel Golden started dating a man who she said was initially “very kind” and “overwhelmingly friendly.” Then his behavior shifted and he started comparing her to other people and “openly criticizing” her. It got to the point where he started physically hurting her and she ended up in the emergency room.
Golden created The Getting Out Guide to help victims identify abusive relationships and get out of them. She developed a three-step process designed to equip victims with the strategies they can use to rebuild their lives.
Golden joined “True Crime News” and spoke with Ana Garcia about The Getting Out Guide, which you can watch above.
If you or someone you know needs help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).
