Uninhibited Podcast ShownotesEpisode 4: Daphne’s StoryWelcome to Uninhibited, a podcast with the mission to discuss taboo, multicultural, multi-generational, and multi-layered topics that matter to women. Our host, Dr. Makunda Abdul Mbacke, is an Ivy-League trained OBGYN, practicing medicine in rural America. She is a mother, career professional, part of Generation X, and so much more.---01:00 - Today, we’re joined by Ms. Daphne to talk about women’s rights, to understand why women need to have safe access to abortion, and to discuss her own experiences with escaping abuse. Daphne is a 31 year old white woman living in Texas with a young son, is a yoga teacher and minister who primarily works with survivors of domestic violence. 2:50 - Daphne gives us some background about her life and the dark places she found herself in the early 2000s. She met her son’s father, stopped using drugs, found yoga, and started to explore her own spiritual path. Daphne dives into the early stages of her relationship with her son’s father, and how, over time, she developed a feeling of safety with him while finding a sense of wholeness within herself.8:21 - Dr. Makunda asks Daphne to share if her pregnancy was planned. Daphne explains that she and her partner were drinking heavily at the time, not practicing safe sex, and doesn’t remember many of her sexual encounters with him. She was about two months pregnant by the time she realized, but her partner promised his support and care for their child.10:05 - Daphne explains that her pregnancy was the first extended time of her adulthood that she was completely sober, which allowed for a lot of her personal, spiritual and emotional growth. She discovered that she didn’t have much in common with her friends other than drinking alcohol. When she asked her partner to make healthy changes for their child, he made some adjustments and they set up boundaries to protect their family. 11:55 - Daphne describes how their living conditions and relationship changed after the birth of their son. Still living with her partner’s alcoholic father led to tension, and her partner directed much of his own anger and insecurities on Daphne. He would make her feel trapped and like she had no options of living on her own without him.15:25 - Dr. Makunda asks how things changed once Daphne’s son was born. Daphne explains that it was “like a light switch flipping.” When the baby came, Daphne felt absolutely controlled, trapped, and like she couldn't leave - she understands now how this was complete manipulation by her partner and is something that is typical in abusive situations.16:40 - When her son was about a year old, Daphne was physically assaulted by her partner for the first time and he ended up in jail. The situation was that Daphne felt that her partner had put their son in a threatening situation with an unsafe person, and her partner did not honor her desire to have that unsafe person removed from their house. When Daphne said she would ask them to leave and stood up for herself, her partner reacted with terrible physical violence. 20:40 - Daphne managed to escape the situation and get to her car, but was without a phone and her child. Not knowing what else to do, she drove to the local fire station, as her father had once told her to do. There, she found support and was able to meet the police at her house, where her partner was arrested and taken to jail. The next day, Daphne gave her father money to bail her partner out. Her father felt it was possible that he could make Daphne’s partner change by having a serious conversation, and Daphne detailed how difficult it was to get her parents to stop having contact with him. 25:00 - Daphne and Dr. Makunda discuss how religion and shared experiences made it difficult for Daphne’s father to be critical of her abuser. It seemed that Daphne’s father was sympathetic towards her abusive partner, rather than trying to protect his daughter, because he saw something within her partner that he had also experienced. 26:38 - “What I’ve learned through many experiences is that you can’t want for somebody else what they don’t want for themselves.” - Dr. Makunda29:23 - Dr. Makunda asks how long Daphne stayed with her partner after that first violent experience, and what was the force that finally got her to leave him. Daphne explains that the incident happened in November 2015 and she left that following May of 2016. During the time before she escaped, the verbal and emotional abuse Daphne experienced intensified and her abuser made her feel small and helpless. She also experienced sexual abuse and rape from her abuser, but she didn’t know how to navigate these situations because he was also her partner.31:00 - In the spring of 2016, Daphne went through a second yoga teacher training, during which she found she had grown and shifted within herself to fully realize and acknowledge that her partner was sexually and emotionally abusing her. That was the time that she knew she had to get out, or it would keep getting worse. She made a plan with her friend and her mother to move out with her son, and they went to live at a friend’s house. 32:20 - In Texas, the state can press charges against individuals with domestic abuse histories and put them into intervention programs. Daphne’s abuser was in one of these programs, but used the language and learnings from those sessions to attempt to manipulate her again. He would also use their son as a tool to create hope that things could get better. 33:04 - Three weeks after she left her abuser, Daphne found herself with him and he proceeded to get her drunk. He told her that she should stay and not drive home, but she woke up to him raping her again, which resulted in her second pregnancy. She was terrified and felt there was no option but to move back in with him, but her abuser refused to keep any of his promises about changing and getting help.34:45 - Daphne shares a conversation she had with a friend, where she felt immense guilt over not wanting her pregnancy. Her friend supported her and explained that Daphne had a choice - that she did not have to live in terror, that she did not have to go through with a pregnancy that came from rape, that she was not trapped by her abuser. Daphne made an appointment at an abortion clinic and told her abuser that she was terminating the pregnancy and would not stay with him. 35:50 - Daphne was 12 weeks pregnant when she went to her appointment which meant she had to have a D&C procedure, and describes the physical and emotional pain she went through while simultaneously feeling empowered through her bodily autonomy. This process made her realize that she had power and she was the one with control over her and her child’s lives. 37:15 - Dr. Makunda asks Daphne to share more of her experience at the abortion clinic and how she felt in that environment. Daphne explains that the clinic in Dallas that she attended is always very busy, meaning there are always protesters outside. While protesters want to “save the life” of the fetus, Daphne argues that she needed to save her own life.She also goes into detail about the process itself, with a 4-hour appointment on day one and a 6-hour appointment on day two (Texas requires a 24 hour waiting period between the initial appointment and the procedure). 40:40 - “Having the chance to make that choice for myself, as difficult of a choice as it was, gave me the courage and confidence to continue making choices for myself that were in my best interest, regardless of what anyone else said or wanted of me.” - Daphne41:23 - Dr. Makunda inquires about Daphne’s process of finally severing ties with her abuser and moving forward with her life. Daphne tells that, although it’s been a long and difficult journey, she has a supportive community around to help her. Her parents offer to help with her son and she has moved into more stable work as a priestess, an ordained minister, a coach and spiritual counselor at a wellness center, while also seeking to launch a non-profit organization to offer her services to survivors of domestic violence.44:23 - An important aspect of domestic abuse situations that Daphne shares is that the violence doesn’t stop when you leave, and many people don’t realize that reality. In the first two weeks of leaving an abusive relationship, that survivor is 70 times more likely to be killed by their violent partner. The threat of abuse doesn’t just disappear. 45:39 - Dr. Makunda asks what Daphne’s advice would be to someone in a similar situation to hers. Daphne recommends finding the local domestic violence shelter because they will have the tools needed to keep survivors safe, find legal protection, and will have accommodations where survivors can stay in a protected space. Remember, survivors are not alone in this.48:23 - Dr. Makunda asks Daphne to tell us about the “new” Daphne - the woman that is healed and whole. Daphne shares that yoga helped reconnect her to her spiritual path and understand her own experience, and her practice of power yoga helped her find strength, endurance and her mental power.____________________________________________________________________________If you or someone that you know is in an abusive situation and is seeking help, there are always resources available to help.
