TRAILER: David Challen a domestic abuse advisor, campaigner and author, who successfully campaigned to free his mother, Sally Challen, in a landmark 2019 appeal that helped define coercive control in UK law.
David shares his own story: growing up in a household shaped by his father's coercive control, years of witnessing humiliation and isolation, and the day he learned his mother had killed his father in 2010. He speaks candidly about identifying his father's body, standing by his mother through her conviction for murder, and the years-long fight - alongside his lawyer and the evidence of coercive control - that led to her retrial and eventual release.
David and Emma also discuss the media's role in reporting domestic abuse, why so many survivors go unheard, and what intergenerational trauma looks like. They talk about what it means to be a male ally, and about rebuilding a relationship with his mother since her release. David's book, The Unthinkable, is available now.
Content warning: This episode contains detailed, first-hand accounts of coercive control, domestic homicide, sexual violence, and childhood trauma, along with references to suicide. Listener discretion is strongly advised - please prioritise your wellbeing and pause or come back when you're ready.
