We meet someone, fall in love, and develop a relationship, but then something happens, and your partner hurts, manipulates or frightens you. Perhaps you address it, but it's denied, or it's somehow your fault, or they apologise and promise it won't happen again. And we all make mistakes, so you trust this person who has hitherto loved you to redeem themselves. But what happens when this becomes a pattern, and you slowly realise you are walking on eggshells and embroiled in a volatile or destructive relationship?
The host, Beth Armstrong, guides an in-depth discussion between three brave, astute and articulate women who speak together anonymously to share their domestic violence stories with an intimate partner, how they escaped, and how it has affected their lives.
