00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to stuff Mob Never told you from how stup

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: works dot com. Hello, and welcome to the podcast. I'm

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Caroline and I'm Kristin, and today we're talking about stalking,

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: and so we want to issue a trigger warning that

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: we will be discussing issues like domestic violence. Um. But

6
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: the reason that we're discussing this today is because after

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Kristen and I did our episode on intimate partner and

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: domestic violence, we heard from a lot of women who

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: were grateful that we addressed the issue and brought it up,

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: talked a lot about stats and where we stand today,

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: but they also wanted us to take it a step further. Essentially,

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: we heard from a lot of women who were saying, yes,

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: I got out of a really terrible situation, but once

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: I was out of it physically, out of the home,

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: or out of the relationship itself, I still had to

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: overcome the hurdles of my former partner stalking me, trying

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: to get in touch with me, and then going through

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: the bureaucratic red tape of trying to obtain a restraining

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: or protective order. And so there are definitely more issues

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: to domestic violence and intimate partner violence than what goes

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: on to cause someone to leave the home. There's also

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the fallout that happens once someone does

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: try to leave, and so we're going to talk a

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: lot about that, not only the intimate partner stalking, but

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: also
