I do understand how devastating coercive control can be showergel because it affects someone in my own family, and has almost destroyed a friend's life. I also think it's positive that drama and soaps raises awareness of such issues. When I said TA drags things out I meant that the current storyline with Helen & Lee will run and run until it eventually resolves to listeners relief, or not. Sometimes it just goes on too long is all I was saying, but hey it's not RL but "entertainment" and they are trying to hook in audiences.
