DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - Good Cops Bad Cops

Video Description

Julie, a domestic violence survivor, shares her story of being manipulated, abused, and nearly destroyed by her ex-husband—a former New York police officer with a dark past. Drawn in quickly by his charm and a false sense of security, Julie married him within months, unaware that his previous wife had died under suspicious circumstances. Shortly after their marriage, Julie was diagnosed with melanoma, which left her physically vulnerable and gave her time to recognize the emotional and psychological abuse she was enduring—coercive control, verbal torment, and sexual assault involving handcuffs and threats. Her husband used his law enforcement background to manipulate local authorities and isolate her, even deleting contacts from her phone and attempting to control her narrative. Despite immense trauma, Julie strategically escaped with the help of determined deputies, her own courage, and a strong support network of local officers. She later discovered the extent of his past abuses and suspected he targeted her intentionally. Through it all, she endured PTSD, homelessness, and continued harassment but eventually rebuilt her life, becoming a writer and aspiring private investigator focused on helping others. Julie credits her survival to speaking out and refusing to remain silent, and she now shares her story to empower others trapped in similar cycles of control and violence.
