Kacey’s Partner Wanted to Kill Her: Surviving Domestic Violence

Would you recognise the early signs of domestic violence?

Kacey Jackson grew up in a lower socioeconomic town with an alcoholic father and was never shown what a healthy relationship or boundaries looked like.

After being love bombed by a new partner, she found herself trapped in a violent relationship just three months later. One night, after five hours of torture and threats to her life, Kacey fled barefoot into the dark and hid in the bush to survive.

Now, she’s rebuilding herself piece by piece and sharing her story so others don’t miss the warning signs she once did.


Trigger warning: This episode discusses substance abuse and Domestic Violence.
