[@SamSmithVev0]

Absolutely horrific story. She is a strong person.i hope he rots in jail.

[@vannesagannon4555]

He wont even get jail

[@michellemcgarr1709]

It’s so difficult to understand why people stay until they are ever in the situation themselves. It doesn’t happen overnight but a gradual process of taking your self esteem and self worth away slowly. Get out now 😢 would be my biggest bit of advice to anyone suffering from this type of behaviour because it only gets worse.

[@stephencarr7263]

What a fantastic woman and thanks for telling your story ❤

[@gavinwatters1293]

He's an abhorrent human. What a strong and amazing woman!

[@habanero6332]

I went through this too. I have written a book. I know how she feels.

[@melliecrann-gaoth4789]

Keep talking. Keep bringing more people on the programme. Don Hennessy would be an excellent person to have on.

[@DarrenFoley-m8j]

Such a horrible ordeal for that young lady but on the plus side look at the strong beautiful swan she has become ❤

[@user-cy4vw1qj9m]

I wish her a happy life from here in.

[@danielapearls1491]

Sad you stayed after thr first time he abused you. You were going to leave at 15 but you stayed after he abused you for wanting to leave. Sad. Your instinct knew to go at 15!!!! You have your precious children. You are strong & couragous❤️🫶🏻🙏🏻✝️

[@jackieburdon4905]

pig needs to be locked up. I was in a domestic abuse relationship in Ireland in the early 90s and could not get a barring order because we weren't married. That was how things were then in Holy Catholic Ireland. My son witnessed him almost killing me and he was only 7. We were split up and he came back to the house to see his son. Best thing getting out of that situation. these men isolate you and have a tendency for jealousy and alcohol abuse. Unfortunately, he was a street angel house devil and family did not believe me.

[@JohnCambridge-c6t]

Stay strong

[@michellecaseygalloway780]

I remember the black eyes of my stepfather

[@shirleycarroll1698]

OOOOHHH was he beaten by your grandmother?

[@shirleycarroll1698]

Or he was crazy?

[@EmmaJean-c6v]

So heartbreaking 😔💔

[@janepearson5802]

SHe was physically abused and stayed . How awful

[@LizBartley-w4v]

This hasn't changed .lots out there and nothing happens.😢😢😢

[@Barbara-yj5tl]

The interviewer said to her ‘it doesn’t sound real’ i imagine like me she was referring more to the fact she stayed with that monster for years. Why? She was 15/16 when he first kicked off yet she let it go on for years. Unbelievable!

[@joanmorrissey4257]

How do you get away from these men when you share kids with them though?

[@KLR-l9l]

He sounds like a very troubled man. She is equally troubled. It takes two to bring kids into this scenario knowingly.
