Meg
Welcome to The R Word. In this episode, Meg talks about abuse on more than one occasion, which sadly, isn't uncommon.
She talks in depth about her experiences, assaulted on different occasions, by different men as a teenager and we discuss consent within marriage, a topic which seems to be a bit of a grey area for many of us.
We also hear how far she has come since, and created a life that she wants.
