On this episode of en(gender)ed #SurvivorStories series, our guest is Hunter Maxwell, a survivor of childhood domestic violence and child sexual assault.  As a child, he witnessed his mother in several abusive relationships and he himself was sexually abused by an older child in the neighborhood. Hunter speaks with us today about how both of these experiences have shaped him, his relationships,his  choices, and what tools he has adopted to build resilience and begin to heal. Throughout our conversation, we reference #signsofabuse, #abusertactics, and #upstandertips.
