Description

We reprise a previous episode that deserved to be heard once more for the warning signs that this survivor missed, and the lessons she learned the heard way.
Karen Widdoss is a courageous survivor of a murderous assault she suffered when she was a young teen. 
In the summer of 1994, her ex-boyfriend attacked her and nearly took her life. How she managed to hold onto her life is a miracle. 
Karen has added her voice to survivors of violent crimes by speaking out about her experience so no other woman would ever suffer as she has. 
In this episode, we talk about "Karen’s Law" which dramatically changes the way parole board hearings are handled. "Karen's Law" was passed on November 25, 2020 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 
Karen Widdoss has continually used her tragedy to dramatically help others in need. 

NOTE:

The WHEN DATING HURTS book (paperback, eBook, and audiobook) can only be found on Amazon.
