Debi
In this episode, I speak with Debi, a very strong woman, whose story it utterly shocking, by her partner who metered out the most shocking abuse but also by the authorities who should have got justice for her.
This is a raw, unedited episode, she speaks with honesty and I'm amazed by the woman she is after this experience.
Her story started 26 years ago, and still affects her today, although she has risen above it and created a wonderful life with her husband.
She is a real inspiration.
