Jamie - Pt 1 of 2 - Victim... Survivor... Criminal prosecutor.
Manage episode 408905630 series 3397272
Every survivor story comes with reasons to listen carefully and learn the many facets of dating and domestic violence. This story is certainly no exception.
For those of you thinking domestic violence doesn’t happen to people like you, Jamie’s narrative stands as evidence to the contrary.
She was a college graduate. A law school graduate. And then a prosecutor in a district attorney’s office near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
What is so ironic? She was the prosecutor of criminal cases oftentimes like what she was experiencing within her personal life at that time. And yet, she was not thinking of her difficulties as abuse.
When she realized she was technically a domestic violence victim, she felt guilt and shame for not coming forth and taking the kinds of legal steps against her abuser she would have urged her clients to take.
Jamie wants to underscore dating and domestic violence can—and does—happen to anyone in any profession. This is what finally helped her turn the corner on her shame. This interview is her way to reach out to the world and use her story to help shine the light of knowledge about abuse.
