Melissa：本季播客的成功之处在于，它不仅帮助受害者找到了更多幸存者，还引发了公众对她们的支持，超过3万人在请愿书上签名，呼吁对Jake追究法律责任。然而，法院系统对家庭暴力和人格障碍的教育不足，导致对受害者和孩子的保护不力。Melissa在法律程序中缺乏选择权，被迫同意让Jake探视孩子，即使她担心孩子的安全。直到Jake对孩子Ivy施暴后，Melissa才获得法院判决禁止Jake探视。Melissa还谈到了Jake试图降低抚养费，并通过隐瞒收入来规避责任，法院对此缺乏有效的应对措施。检察官的陈述虽然有力，但法院最终还是降低了抚养费，Jake用购买昂贵户外用品来解释他的高额支出，这凸显了法院对经济虐待的认识不足。Melissa还分享了她报警指控Jake强奸的经历，以及她在法庭上缺乏必要的法律援助。 Kaylan：施虐者常常伪装成受害者，预先诋毁受害者，以防受害者揭露真相。Jake预先诋毁她们，导致她们的控诉不被相信。Kaylan讲述了她们试图警告Jake的朋友Mike Herrera，但得到的回应是他们早已知情，并认为她们是敲诈Jake。Kaylan还解释了Jake使用DARVO策略（否认、攻击、反转受害者和施虐者）来逃避责任。Kaylan还谈到了与情感上不可靠的人相处会产生不稳定的多巴胺反应，这会让人难以离开这种关系。自从播客播出后，更多的人站出来讲述他们与Jake的不良经历，这使得Jake无法再隐瞒他的行为。分享自己的故事让Kaylan摆脱了恐惧和焦虑。 Tiffany：Tiffany对与受害者合作感到荣幸，并被她们的坚强所鼓舞。受害者之间建立的支持网络对她们的孩子们来说非常重要。分享她们的故事不仅帮助了她们自己，也帮助了其他经历类似困境的人。她们对彼此的支持和友谊是这段艰难经历中意外的收获。

As shared in Part One of* [WCN Presents] SWW S14 Updates*, Season 14 of Something Was Wrong began airing on October 20th, 2022 and the last episode aired on January 3rd, 2023. The season highlighted the narratives of Kaylan, Melissa, and Sara and their very toxic, abusive relationships with a man named Jake, as well as the abuse their children faced. As the season progressed, it included several accounts from other victims and acquaintances of Jake as well. Jake continued to leverage his professional connections in the media to add validity to his dating presence and in turn, victimized over forty women. On December 13th, 2022, the guests of Season 14 also participated in a SWW Live event on which they discussed the impact of the season & answered some listeners’ questions. One week later, a petition was created to call for Jake to face legal accountability. And despite the fact that less than a year passing since its release, quite a lot has happened. The Broken Cycle Media team is so grateful for Kaylan, Melissa, and Sara’s involvement, as well as the rest of the guests' of season 14, and the impact their sharing has made. We are also grateful to host this conversation with Kaylan and Melissa about all that’s come next since Season 14 aired.
