Show Notes
Samtalen med vært, Morten Messerschmidt, dykker ned i et voldsomt og personligt emne - vold i parforholdet.
I to år levede Rosa Lund i et voldeligt forhold, som var præget af både psykisk og fysisk vold. Rosa Lund beskriver detaljeret, hvordan hun blev udsat for grænseoverskridende situationer, som hun langt hen ad vejen accepterede og tilgav, indtil hun fandt styrken til at bryde fri.Samtalen kredser om mindreværd, om hvordan man bryder fri, og de spor et voldeligt parforhold efterlader i kroppen.
Hvis du selv står i en lignende situation, kan du søge hjælp hos organisationer som Bryd Tavsheden eller Danner, som tilbyder støtte og rådgivning.
