Selling a family home after separation should be straightforward—but when coercive control is involved, even a real estate transaction can become another form of abuse. In Episode 94 of After the Quiet, I share the emotional story of selling our home after I left my marriage. From intimidation and manipulation to a smear campaign targeting our realtor, this episode explores how post-separation abuse extended far beyond our relationship. I also reflect on the unexpected friendship that emerged from one of the darkest chapters of my life, and what it was like rebuilding my life while living with my mother as our house proceeds remained tied up in legal proceedings. This episode offers a personal look at coercive control, separation, divorce, and the challenges of starting over after abuse.
