[laughs] 206 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,360 When I was working as a police officer 207 00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,800 and she was getting arrested, 208 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,960 she wasn't much fun for either of us. 209 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,440 If you could imagine, 210 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520 you know, a 13, 14-year-old me 211 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,640 with two middle fingers up in the air saying, 212 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,280 "Fuck you" to everyone and everything, 213 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,920 that was it. 214 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,200 "I don't like you, 215 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,840 but I still love you." 216 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,320 And that's definitely Rebecca. 217 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,880 You could quite easily have given her away 218 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,480 between the age of 14 and 18. 219 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,640 [chuckling] There was a description read out 220 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,720 for an assault or a fight, 221 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,960 and the description was her, dead set her. 222 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,640 And I was probably the only one in the room that realized that, 223 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,560 and had to say, "I know who that is." 224 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,960 I'm pretty sure I was 15, 16, 225 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,080 got into a fight with a girl and I hit her. 226 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,120 Yeah, I have a really bad temper. 227 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,600 I lost my shit. 228 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,600 I didn't really sink in what I've done 229 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,240 until the cops came knocking on my door 230 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,520 and brought me in for questioning. 231 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,840 And my parents were there, 232 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,200 and they're like, "What did you do?" 233 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 No, I wouldn't have pictured 234 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,680 the feral toddler that used to follow us around 235 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,120 would turn into the teenager 236 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,200 that was getting booted out of school 237 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,760 and running away from home, 238 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,840 and then escalating to 239 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,760 getting arrested and that sort of thing. 240 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,560 But I don't really know how… 241 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,720 things happened like that, not sure. 242 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400 Bec probably wouldn't remember 243 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,720 mum and dad living together. 244 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,880 and us as a family like that, I wouldn't imagine. 245 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,840 'Cause she was quite young when they separated. 246 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,440 It's hard to parent from a distance, 247 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,680 and probably the discipline 248 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,960 that she would have had from her father… 249 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,080 wasn't there as much as what it would have been 250 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,480 if we'd still been together. 251 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,240 Back then I was just an angry kid 252 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,920 and I just took it out on anyone I could 253 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,240 and lost my shit. 254 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,360 [sirens blaring] 255 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,320 [Bec] And I kind of spiraled out of control from there. 256 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,280 You know, I had a few more instances 257 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,120 where I got in trouble at school for fighting, 258 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 and got kicked out of school for fighting. 259 00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:01,760 And just kind of went down that path 260 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,920 with hanging out the wrong kids 261 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,400 and doing the wrong things. 262 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Just being a little hood rat, 263 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,920 I guess, you know, just causing trouble. 264 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,920 Just doing shit that you shouldn't be doing 265 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,800 as a 16-year-old kid. 266 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,440 It was another fuck you to my family, 267 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,560 to my sister, especially, 268 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,240 who was a police officer at the time. 269 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960 And that was just my way, I guess, of rebelling 270 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,840 and entertaining myself. 271 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,840 If she either kept going in the line she was going, 272 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,440 she would have ended up in jail. 273 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,720 It was a mother's worst nightmare. 274 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400 I didn't love myself and I didn't feel loved. 275 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,240 And I think that was probably the biggest issue. 276 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,120 Deep down inside it was, I didn't truly love myself. 277 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,880 [thunder rumbling] 278 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,840 She lost a baby at 20 weeks. 279 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,600 It was quite advanced, 280 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,800 and they had to surgically… 281 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,240 yeah, remove the baby. 282 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,760 And the staff weren't particularly nice to her. 283 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,680 She had tattoos, yeah. 284 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,120 People in Launceston didn't have tattoos much 285 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720 and they weren't nice to her. 286 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040 I actually made a formal complaint 287 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,440 and we got a written apology, 288 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,800 but I think she just wanted to have a baby. 289 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,680 She wanted to have somebody 290 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,360 that she could love and protect, 291 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,720 and that was just part of her. 292 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,320 She wanted to be a mother. 293 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,800 [kids screaming] 294 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,600 [Bec] I think my turning point was 295 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:31,720 when I fell pregnant with my eldest son, Zake. 296 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,240 I was 19 when I gave birth to him. 297 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,240 I had a few missed pregnancies before that. 298 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,600 So, that was pretty rough. 299 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,720 And so, I felt like Zake was like my miracle. 300 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280 You know, I had this little human that relied on me. 301 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,840 So, I had to change my way 302 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,160 and be a better person and a better human 303 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,560 and a role model for my son. 304 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160 I didn't want him to go down the same path as me. 305 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,040 That's when she started kick-boxing. 306 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,000 So, I guess, sport sort of brought her back 307 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,160 on the straight and narrow again. 308 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,280 Gave her a bit of confidence 309 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,520 and showed he there was more to life than what was occurring. 310 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,920 [upbeat music] 311 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,080 [Bec] I signed up to a cardio kick-boxing gym. 312 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,160 And as I was training there with my friend, 313 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400 I saw these people training MMA, 314 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,760 and I fell in love instantly. 315 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 It was definitely an outlet for me. 316 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,840 It was a place to stay on track. 317 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,280 It was a place to get fitter, 318 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,800 physically and mentally. 319 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,200 At that time, I was just another body on the mat. 320 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,440 I was just there, I showed up, 321 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,520 and I was nothing special. 322 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,080 I didn't stand out, you know, from the bunch. 323 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,280 I was just in there to train and have fun, 324 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680 and get stuck in. 325 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,240 And that's where I met Dan Hyatt. 326 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720 He was initially, just my training partner. 327 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,600 We were both training under the same coach. 328 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,040 He was a professional fighter at the time, 329 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,080 and I was just finding the sport. 330 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,240 My coach went interstate for a trip, 331 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,880 so Dan took over the coaching role, 332 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440 and that's where we became closer 333 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,000 and I began a relationship. 334 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520 It was fresh, exciting. 335 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,880 He was very caring and loving. 336 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,920 I guess, he kind of had that bad boy vibe about him 337 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,800 that I thought was like, a fighter thing. 338 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,000 You know, I thought that's what fighters were like, 339 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,920 you know, big and tough and… 340 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,360 that tough exterior. 341 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,360 But I've never met a fighter before, 342 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,480 so I didn't know what to expect, I guess. 343 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,320 The biggest thing you can take from fighting 344 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,880 is there's no honor fighting on the street. 345 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080 Fighting in a controlled environment, in the gym, 346 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,920 and then, eventually, competing on the world stage 347 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,080 was my outlet. 348 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,520 MMA fighting, when I first saw it, 349 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 I just thought, "Oh, why would Bec want to do that?" 350 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,160 I had no idea you could even fight 351 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,960 at that point, professionally, 352 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,240 and get paid and actually make a sport of it. 353 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,200 And as I got better at it, 354 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,600 my coach came to me 355 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,400 and asked if I'd like to have a fight. 356 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,120 And I said, "Well, if you think I'm ready to fight, 357 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,600 and I can do this, then I'm gonna do it." 358 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,120 When she wanted to actually compete, 359 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,120 I just thought, "My goodness, 360 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,160 you're such a beautiful girl." 361 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,720 "Why would you want to get your face punched in?" 362 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,600 A lot of people think fighting is just this barbaric sport, 363 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,720 but it actually teaches you discipline. 364 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080 It teaches you respect and humility, 365 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,800 and that's what I really needed at that point in time. 366 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880 And it definitely changed my life. 367 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,920 [reporter] What I'm about to show you 368 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,400 is pretty damn exciting. 369 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,040 It's Bec "Rowdy" Hyatt, five foot five, 370 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,200 her MMA debut in the pink. 371 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,200 And Rhiannon "The Tornado" Thompson, 372 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,840 one and O, she is five foot seven. 373 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,200 Going into this fight, again, one and O. 374 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,200 Her second fight, here's the video. 375 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,640 [Bec] You're going into this fight, 376 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,440 you're not knowing what you're walking into. 377 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,520 It was chaos. 378 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,560 [audience cheering] 379 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,680 [screams] 380 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,920 I went out there and I fought as hard as I could, 381 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,599 and I enjoyed the fight. 382 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,160 I looked really good, 383 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,160 up until the point I got kicked in the head. [chuckles] 384 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,960 So, but that's MMA, you know, these things can happen. 385 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,680 I made one little error and she capitalized on that. 386 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,680 And I went down to the canvas 387 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,080 and I think it was out for about a minute. 388 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,240 That's career ending 389 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,920 for someone on their debut. 390 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,480 You know, that's a big shock to your system 391 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,480 to get kicked in the face and knocked unconscious. 392 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,120 So… but it never crossed my mind. 393 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,240 I never thought, "I'm gonna quit, 394 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,400 that was horrible." 395 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,600 I was just, "Let's get back in the gym, 396 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,600 let's make sure it never happens again." 397 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,280 It was after a few months with Dan 398 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:06,240 that things started getting weird. 399 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,680 It was everything being fine, 400 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,280 and then all of a sudden 401 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:12,480 him not talking to me, 402 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,600 just full ghosting me. 403 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,600 And then, he would appear back on the scene 404 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,840 with no explanation. 405 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000 And that cycle just kept going. 406 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,920 And it made me start questioning, "What did I do? 407 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,040 Did I say something?" 408 00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:31,560 And I started questioning myself 409 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,800 and my actions and my words. 410 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,000 And it kept me, you know, trying to… 411 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,040 I guess, fight for his acceptance and love. 412 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,440 And now looking back at it, 413 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,840 I see what he was doing. 414 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,280 He was making me vulnerable, 415 00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:49,480 he was making me… 416 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,280 question myself and my sanity and… 417 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:55,960 and look at myself like I was the problem. 418 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,920 Dan started to take control bit by bit. 419 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,680 The way he perceived it was 420 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,200 that he was trying to help with my career. 421 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,240 He was trying to help with my training 422 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,800 and my nutrition 423 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,320 to become more recognized on social media 424 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,520 and to build my career. 425 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,000 And the way he would word it 426 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,760 and twist the whole situation was he was trying to help me. 427 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,000 He was doing it out of the kindness of his heart. 428 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,440 [Mary] The fact that I didn't really like him 429 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,240 didn't mean that they weren't happy at that point in time. 430 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,120 He was certainly pushing her career, 431 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,520 and she wanted it to be pushed. 432 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,840 So, yeah, every thing looked hunky-dory. 433 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040 [Bec] He intervened with all my friendships. 434 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:51,800 He said I had to choose between him and my friends. 435 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,680 It was really hard to give in to that demand. 436 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,280 He would say something about Zake and Zake's father, 437 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,760 and I would get upset. 438 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,360 Then, he would spin it around, 439 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,240 like I caused that because I got upset. 440 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,760 And that I'm making him hurt me. 441 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,920 The relationship became physical 442 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,680 the day I found out I was pregnant with Enson. 443 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,360 He started by shoving me into a wall. 444 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,120 How could he do that 445 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080 when I've got his son inside me? 446 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,960 Every time it would get to the physical point, 447 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,680 he would say, "Why do you make me do this?" 448 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,160 "Why are you making me do this?" 449 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,760 He'd say it over and over 450 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,480 until I believed that, you know, I was causing these issues 451 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,920 because I was fighting back. 452 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,200 [somber music] 453 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:54,560 He was always very, very sweet 454 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,480 after the fight would would end. 455 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,120 After, you know, the physical stuff would end, 456 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,200 he was always very apologetic. 457 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,840 He was always very emotional. 458 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,240 He would plead with me, 459 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,920 he would even cry that he was sorry, 460 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,560 and that I make him do these things, 461 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,040 and he wish I wouldn't make him do it. 462 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,720 Seven, eight months, 463 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,040 a little bit longer before we got married. 464 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,320 And I honestly got married 465 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,280 because I thought it was going to fix all of our problems. 466 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,040 Everything in my head 467 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,640 was this was gonna make it better. 468 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,320 This was gonna… he was gonna stop abusing me. 469 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,800 He was gonna finally love me 470 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,320 because I'm making this commitment to him 471 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,200 and proving to him how much I loved him. 472 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480 At the time of the wedding, 473 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,320 none of us had any idea what Dan was really like. 474 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,880 He was strange. 475 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,840 I suppose a wedding is always all about the bride, 476 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,520 so didn't really know much… 477 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,560 Had much to do with him, really. 478 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800 He was just quiet. 479 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,560 [Mary] He was a bit of an odd ball. 480 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,120 He didn't really talk to us much, 481 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,280 but we just accepted him for what he was, 482 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:08,560 as you do. 483 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,920 Bec loved him, 484 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,080 that was important to us. 485 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,960 To all accounts, they looked like a loving couple. 486 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,000 And then, not long after the wedding, 487 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,520 I moved to Queensland. 488 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,680 [melancholic music playing] 489 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,440 [Bec] I felt like it was going to fix us. 490 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,840 I thought it was gonna be that magic pill 491 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,960 that our relationship needed. 492 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520 And part of that appeal was, 493 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,000 you know, getting married to him 494 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,680 and moving to Brisbane… 495 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,720 To train at a better gym, 496 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,360 to further his career, 497 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,280 to get away from the Tassie life, 498 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,200 to get away from Zake's father 499 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,000 and all my friends down there 500 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,280 that were his reminder of… 501 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,240 what I was 502 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,200 and that's why he couldn't love me 503 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,000 or give me… 504 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000 treat me the way that he thinks I should have been treated 505 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,560 or he couldn't treat me the way I should have been treated 506 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,680 because I was a bad person. 507 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,720 I was a bad person when I was in Tasmania. 508 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,760 So, moving to Brisbane 509 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,640 and getting married to him and all these steps 510 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,360 were my way of trying to fix it. 511 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,720 Trying to prove to him 512 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,320 that I was worthy of his love. 513 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,680 I don't feel that I was a bad person. 514 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440 I just don't think I loved myself enough 515 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,880 to want better. 516 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,880 I felt like I deserved it 517 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280 or I was doing something 518 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,720 to deserve the way he was treating me. 519 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,400 And I didn't love myself 520 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,920 to want better for myself. 521 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,000 At the point where social media 522 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,640 became a big part of my career, 523 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,400 I had no control over it. 524 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,720 I didn't even have access to it. 525 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,480 That was Dan pretending to be me online. 526 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,800 Everything was just fake. 527 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,200 It portrayed that we were this happy family 528 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,200 and I was this happy, bubbly mom with two kids, 529 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,400 and we were gonna live happily ever after. 530 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,800 Well, it couldn't have been further from the truth. 531 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,520 Seeing them both together at the gym 532 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,800 four to five times a week, 533 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,360 Bec and Dan together were like a lot of couples. 534 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,080 A little bit volatile, sometimes, 535 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,200 a little bit friendly, 536 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,200 joking, playing with each other, 537 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,560 sometimes distant. 538 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,880 Sometimes I'd be training one 539 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,640 and the other one would barely make eye contact with the other. 540 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,640 None of that stood out as something… 541 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,080 unusual at the time. 542 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,520 It was just a young couple. 543 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,200 It slowly got worse, you know? 544 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560 He would get to go a bit longer. 545 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,600 It wasn't just a shove here and there, 546 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,720 you know he'd hold me down 547 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,440 or he would kick me. 548 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,640 Or… I remember sitting on the computer one day, 549 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,240 and he just came up behind me. 550 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,200 We hadn't even had an argument. 551 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,480 He just came up behind me and choked me unconscious. 552 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,760 And I woke up with my head in the keyboard. 553 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,920 [foreboding music] 554 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,240 And then, he would find different ways to hurt me. 555 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,320 He would, you know, trash my house 556 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,600 and destroy my things 557 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,200 or destroy Zake's things. 558 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,680 Yeah, it just slowly got worse. 559 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,960 I guess, he got more confident 560 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280 with me not talking, not telling anyone. 561 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,880 At that point, I was in survival mode. 562 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,320 I was in protection mode 563 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,280 of my two baby cubs. 564 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,440 And they were… 565 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,040 The only thing on my mind was to protect them 566 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:01,640 and keep them safe, 567 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,640 and to keep them out of harm's way. 568 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,880 He did the typical domestic violence sort of thing 569 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,400 where he alienated the family, 570 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,960 he moved her away from us 571 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000 as far as he could. 572 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,960 But he came up against the Rawlings family 573 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,720 and we all stick together. 574 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,280 So, we spent a lot of time in Queensland. 575 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,640 We thought that there was 576 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,200 some, you know, hitting 577 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,680 and so forth going on, 578 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,960 but we couldn't… we never witnessed it. 579 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,400 We saw the bruises, but Bec just said, 580 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,000 "Oh, that's from training." 581 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,600 [Malcolm] There were stories from outsiders 582 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,080 who would would speak to me quietly and privately 583 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,480 and say, "Look, I've heard some things 584 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,680 that maybe Dan, you know, has been abusive to Bec 585 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,840 or is very controlling." 586 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,800 But when we would question her on that, 587 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,280 there was always a bubbly response 588 00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,840 that we should all not worry about it, 589 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,760 that we should all not be concerned, 590 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,040 that she was okay. 591 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,280 He controlled my fight career. 592 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,840 He controlled everything around me, 593 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,760 and I felt like I couldn't get out. 594 00:27:32,840

the beast. 903 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,280 Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. 904 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,280 I feel like that is the sport, 905 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,960 and it's how you come back from it. 906 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,520 And I've definitely grown as a fighter and a person 907 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,280 dealing with losses and dealing with wins. 908 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,880 When I first started competing in MMA, 909 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,440 I was fighting in the straw-weight division, 910 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,760 which was 52 kilos. 911 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,560 And I think that weight division really suited me at that time. 912 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,080 I was still a young woman, 913 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,640 I was 22-years-old. 914 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,000 So I was making that weight quite easily. 915 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,840 But as I got older, I got more mature. 916 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:58,440 I started putting on more muscle 917 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,920 and things got harder to drop. 918 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,480 And add on to that, 919 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,720 I got a thyroid disease, 920 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,920 so that kind of just threw another spanner in the works. 921 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,880 And those are few things, you know, 922 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,120 that came to mind 923 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,840 when I realized I lost the love for the sport. 924 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,000 Or not the love for it, 925 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,080 the vision of why I was doing it. 926 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,360 It was getting to the point 927 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,920 where I was cutting like eight kilos in water to fight. 928 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,840 I was passing out cutting weight, 929 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,600 and then the next day I was meant to fight 930 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,760 to my 100 percent performance. 931 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,320 And it just… this spiraled out of control. 932 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,840 And so, a sport like MMA 933 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,080 isn't a sport that you wanna lose your direction in, 934 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,680 or lose your love in, 935 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,840 because you're getting punched in the face, 936 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,320 you're gonna get hurt out there. 937 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,200 [Mary] When she went to do mixed martial arts, 938 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,800 that was bad enough. 939 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,280 And then, when you think it can't get any worse, 940 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,400 she does the bare knuckle. 941 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,840 And I just thought, "Oh, my goodness." 942 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,920 [Bec] It was all new to me and I started… 943 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,840 I went down that rabbit hole of what is bare knuckle. 944 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,720 Like, I knew boxing originated without gloves, 945 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,240 but I didn't know the extent, 946 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,160 I didn't know the history behind it. 947 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:10,240 And it was now legalized again. 948 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,080 So, that was cool and exciting to kind of, you know, 949 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,360 get that in and nerd out, 950 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,480 and start researching and looking into it. 951 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,520 I felt like the sport was made for me, 952 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,000 so I was excited.

00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,160 So, basically, we wrap the wrist and the thumb, 960 00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:36,440 secure those in, 961 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,680 and leave the knuckles bare. 962 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,960 There's no wraps, there's no tape, 963 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,560 there's no gauze over your actual knuckles. 964 00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,760 So you can see the knuckles coming for you. 965 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,560 I was actually really excited. 966 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,360 [commentator] It is our co-main event of the night. 967 00:44:51,440 -->

00:49:57,840 When I'm fighting, 1093 00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,440 I guess, it's very strategic. 1094 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,320 It's definitely a lot you rely on with your muscle memory, 1095 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,440 what you're doing in the gym every day. 1096 00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,560 Especially, when you get tired, 1097 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,520 you go back to what you know. 1098 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,800 I don't go out into a fight with, you know, 1099 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,040 the mindset of, 1100 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,000 "Oh, I can take damage, it's fine." 1101 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,960 I definitely changed my fighting style 1102 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,920 since when I first started fighting, 1103 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,480 where I did take a lot of damage 1104 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:25,600 and I could feel it. 1105 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,440 You know, I could feel myself getting dumber. 1106 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:28,760 [laughs] 1107 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,600 So, yeah, I had to re-evaluate how I trained 1108 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,960 and how I want to be around with my smarts and my wits 1109 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,160 for my kids. 1110 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:39,360 So now, I do train a lot 1111 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,200 how not to take damage, 1112 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,560 keep my hands up, move my head, 1113 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,080 things like that. 1114 00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,960 It is really hard juggling kids 1115 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,920 and the fight life, 1116 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,720 but fortunately, you know, 1117 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,320 I've only known this fight business since I've had them. 1118 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,880 I didn't have the… 1119 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,120 the opportunity to fight before I had the kids. 1120 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,880 So, this is all I've known. 1121 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,440 I have a schedule. 1122 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,800 We have it down pat, kids know what's up. 1123 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,000 They love… like they're gym babies. 1124 00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:20,480 [engine

That's it. 1138 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,600 Try and bring that first jab back to your face. 1139 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,600 You know, jab, back, jab again. 1140 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,760 So, you don't… 1141 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:20,920 Yes, that's it. 1142 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,160 The first name I got tattooed on me was Zake's. 1143 00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:32,120 And I knew never knew at that point 1144 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,600 that I was gonna have, you know, another son on the other side. 1145 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,960 And I'd have all this wrapping around my neck, 1146 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,800 but yeah, I got Zake a few months after I had him. 1147 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,320 And then, same was Enson. 1148 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,920 And then, it was only a few years later 1149 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,200 that I decided to get the heart 1150 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,760 which I think, you know, represents for me, 1151 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,640 it's the heart with the key and… 1152 00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:55,800 like they are my heart. 1153 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,680 They're my everything and they hold the key to that. 1154 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,280 That's what it means to me. 1155 00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:10,360 We're off to Mexico. 1156 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,560 It's gonna be a big week. 1157 00:53:12,640 -->

of gets a lot of people's respect. 1163 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,400 [David] She's unbelievable. 1164 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,280 She's just, she's everything I really want in a fighter, 1165 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:02,000 but I liked her because she loves to promote, 1166 00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,400 and some of that… her voice 1167 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,880 that really gets people to look at her 1168 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,160 and to be attracted to her, I think. 1169 00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:09,600 More so than just the fighting. 1170 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:10,760 And she is a

family up, 1412 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,880 myself coming from a broken home, 1413 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,080 it wasn't easy. 1414 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,280 So I thought that we're better off… 1415 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,160 in it than away from it, 1416 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,920 which is so far from the truth. 1417 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,520 So, it took, you know, 1418 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:37,920 a long time to realize that 1419 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,720 they were better off without that monster in their life. 1420 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,320 [uplifting music] 1421 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,840 [Bec] It's that stupid stigma where everyone thinks 1422 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,680 that you have to have your parents together 1423 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:53,840 to be happy. 1424 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:57,560 [Mary] But once she had accepted that 1425 01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,600 that was not going to happen, 1426 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:02,800 she was able to move on. 1427 01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,120 [uplifting music] 1428 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,040 [Bec] It appears to me now that they were always at risk. 1429 01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,000 You know, seeing that happen to their mom, 1430 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:20,319 the things that they've seen. 1431 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,680 I know Zake remembers some things, 1432 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,520 and that's not fair 1433 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,120 for a kid to have to see that at that age. 1434 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:36,680 So, that was my turning point. 1435 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:37,760 I had to get them out. 1436 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,960 It wasn't just to save my life, it was to save them. 1437 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,279 To win the championship belt 1438 01:09:04,359 --> 01:09:07,920 and to have that around my waist 1439 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,000 and awarded to me, 1440 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,000 and to make history and be the first woman ever 1441 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,840 to win a Bare Knuckle World Championship… 1442 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,080 It's hard to put it into words. 1443 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,520 It was an amazing… it's an amazing feeling now. 1444 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,960 At that point in time, 1445 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,319 it just, it didn't feel real. 1446 01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:27,200 It felt… 1447 01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,359 Yeah, it was a crazy feeling. 1448 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,120 It really didn't sink in until I got home. 1449 01:09:40,319 --> 01:09:43,520 I filed for divorce 1450 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,279 a year after we had split. 1451 01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:46,920 I don't know how he took it. 1452 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,240 He never fought it. 1453 01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:50,399 I went to court and he wasn't there. 1454 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,319 So, it all went smoothly, I guess, 1455 01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:55,000 because he never fought it. 1456 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,320 There was a young girl 1457 01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,680 that unfortunately fell into the same… 1458 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,160 hands of Dan Hyatt. 1459 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:15,520 She was young when they met, 1460 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:18,400 she worked for him in some capacity, 1461 01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:20,360 and he groomed her. 1462 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,880 Her mum actually contacted me 1463 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:31,000 because she knew how vocal I'd been about the abuse 1464 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,360 and trying to warn people to stay away from him. 1465 01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:38,360 And she was frightened for her daughter's life. 1466 01:10:38,440 --> 01:10:40,680 And she reached out to me on tips 1467 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,960 to try and get her away from him, I guess. 1468 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,040 She was a lot like me at that age. 1469 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,200 She was rebellious and wanted to do what she wanted to do, 1470 01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:55,280 so her mum was distraught, 1471 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,280 didn't know how to get her away from this monster. 1472 01:10:58,360 --> 01:10:59,840 'Cause she knew he was a monster. 1473 01:11:02,440 --> 01:11:04,400 [sirens blaring] 1474 01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:07,880 When Dan was finally convicted, 1475 01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,280 I was happy he was finally behind bars. 1476 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,280 I was happy that he was outed. 1477 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:18,040 He could no longer go on and abuse more girls. 1478 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,000 It was like a weight lifted off, I guess… 1479 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,280 for it to all finally come to light. 1480 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,240 It took a lot of time to move on completely. 1481 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:35,000 A long time, you know, there was a lot of triggers. 1482 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,880 I probably went a year without sleep. 1483 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,240 I had security cameras put up around my house 1484 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,280 because I was afraid he was gonna come in and kill us. 1485 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,560 I had put up walls, 1486 01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,720 I never… I didn't let anyone get close to me emotionally. 1487 01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:56,240 And that's family, friends, boyfriends. 1488 01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:01,560 It took a long time to get 1489 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,520 to the point where I can trust people again. 1490 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,000 But I've moved on completely from it. 1491 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,160 It doesn't control my life, 1492 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,080 it doesn't define me, 1493 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,000 it doesn't shape what I'm doing now 1494 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,320 or who I am today. 1495 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:20,320 It is something that happened to me, 1496 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,840 but it isn't me any longer. 1497 01:12:28,480 --> 01:12:29,960 [squealing] 1498 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,120 [Jacqui] I'm very proud of Rebecca for what she's achieved. 1499 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,560 Like, she's managed to pull herself out of the shit, 1500 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:43,200 pull herself out of a very frightening, crappy situation. 1501 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,360 And earn a living to raise two kids 1502 01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:48,960 and live a happy life, I suppose. 1503 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,080 [Malcolm] Think I'm lucky to know 1504 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:54,400 who Bec is. 1505 01:12:54,480 --> 01:12:57,920 Lucky to know that she's larrikin, 1506 01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,440 but she's fun. 1507 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,760 And she's not what a lot of people think she is. 1508 01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,040 I'm fortunate that I get to know her. 1509 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:08,920 I'm really, really proud of her. 1510 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:10,720 Even though I don't like the fighting, 1511 01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,640 I'm proud of what she's achieved. 1512 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,560 I'm proud of her as a mother. 1513 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,480 [Adrian] She's a hero

is a hero. 1517 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,960 [Mary] What's most inspiring about Rebecca's story 1518 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:37,480 is the fact that no matter how hard you fall, 1519 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,000 you can always get back up again. 1520 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,040 You can always try 1521 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,600 and change the course of your life, 1522 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:45,960 because that's what you have to do 1523 01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:47,440 after domestic violence. 1524 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:51,440 [Malcolm] Advice to someone else 1525 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,680 in a situation like what Bec went through? 1526 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,240 My advice would be… 1527 01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:58,960 Talk to someone, 1528 01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:00,600

01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:24,440 [Mary] She had to dig deep to keep going forward, 1533 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,480 and that's the message that she wants to give other girls 1534 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,960 that are in the same situation, 1535 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,960 that you can turn your life around, 1536 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,200 you can find the strength to move on 1537

and the skills to, 1543 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,720 if they will ever find themselves in my situation, 1544 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,520 to be able to get out of it 1545 01:15:21,120 -->
