Divorce: The First Six Months with Peter Maestrey

Amy Hill - Ep. 29.2 - Things didn’t change when I was pregnant. In fact, they got a whole lot worse.

October 20, 2021 • Amy Hill

In this episode Amy speaks about what it was like to be pregnant, and how the toxicity of the relationship affected her breast feeding, as well as overall health. How things didn’t change with him as a result of her pregnancy, they actually became worse. His sense of entitlement grew. Creating more fear on her part, which began for her daily upon waking up.

She goes on to explain what she did to try to make it work by visiting a psychologist, but after the third session, he stormed out after trying to prove that he had no issues. This was when she was told for the first time that she was in a domestic abuse relationship. Imagine a world where you have to be told you are in an abusive relationship. This was Amy's world.

This episode is gut wrenching. I, personally, cannot imagine a world where what Amy describes could be considered everyday living conditions, but for Amy, it was. Listen to what happened, and what she did to overcome such an obstacle.
