Let me start by saying that walking away from my toxic 30-year relationship with my now ex-husband was one of the hardest things I had to do. The result of walking away turned out to be the best thing I've ever done.

In The Cost of Fear, nationally recognized violence prevention expert Meg Stone helps listeners separate fact from fiction. It’s full of practical, research-based strategies that listeners can use to keep themselves and their communities safer.
