*Trigger Warning - This episode is more graphic in it's content*

Following on from my previous episode, I discuss in more detail going to the Police and the process of getting a Non-Molestation Order through the Court system.

I would just like to thank everyone who sent messages of support and to those who shared their stories with me. Please remember, if someone close to you:

Makes threats or does things to scare you
Puts you down just to make you feel bad
Makes you feel guilty if you don’t spend time with them
Doesn't get on with your friends or family
Looks through your phone, social media or web history
Wants to know where you are all the time
Cheats on you or accuses you of cheating on them
And/or makes you have sex when you don’t want to
