Episode 52: Life is Easy, Living is Hard

Summary: Erica has endured a lifetime of trauma marked by a difficult upbringing, abusive relationships, an addiction to phone sex, attempted suicide, and a number of diagnosed mental health issues.    Recently, we heard of a website called writeaprisoner.com. While Erica is not a prisoner herself, she has turned to the site in what seems to be a way of coping with her own past, and actually fell in love with a man on the inside, who turned out to only be using her.    Erica’s story highlights yet another case of neglect and having nowhere to turn, nobody who believed her, when she needed it the most.   Host and Producer: Karla Stephens-Tolstoy Editor and Co-Producer: Joel at East Coast Studio   Check out these designs from Stand Up Speak Up Apparel:    https://www.standupspeakupapparel.com/collections/all-tops/products/healing-is-possible-womens-fitted-tank-top    https://www.standupspeakupapparel.com/collections/all-tops/products/drugs-detox-rehab-recovery-womens-cotton-tee    Links:    http://writeaprisoner.com
