4 Recommendations

In part one of my talk with Ben, he takes us through the development of his first relationship which turned into a dark, abusive one. His story may be triggering or disturbing to some. If you can't listen to this subject matter, that is completely understandable.
Thankfully, Ben was able to come out of the other side of it and is telling his story for the first time.
Send Ben some love on Twitter: https://www.Twitter.com/shadybenjamin
Ben, I know this wasn't easy but we all stand with you and are proud of you!
