“And I felt like I had a lot to share as far as, like you said, power dynamics in relationships and relationships that are abusive in different kinds of ways, whether they’re, like, emotionally abusive or, you know, financially abusive.”
Madison said she’s been able to connect with others through her story.
“I mean, obviously the situation I was in was very unusual, and I think because it was so unusual, I was able to make excuses for it for a long time because, obviously, you get into it knowing it’s not like a typical relationship,” Madison said. “So I made a lot of excuses for it but I found that, you know, my story connects with a lot of people, and they see echoes of it sometimes in their own relationships that they then got out of.”
