This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence.
In 2013, Courtney Queeney published an essay about surviving domestic violence and the legal proceedings that followed. She described going to a courthouse every two weeks to renew her emergency protection order against her ex. It was during this period that she found “scattered bright spots” — things to laugh about when everything seemed unfunny. She found comfort in the woman who shared her court schedule; her lawyer, whom she revered; and the judge who made her crack up.
Today, we hear about how Courtney has worked through the experience and aftermath of her abuse — and where is she now.
Featured stories:“The View From the Victim Room,” by Courtney Queeney“Held by String,” by Eliza Rudalevige
