David Challen speaks on his family’s experience of coercive control

Sally Challen killed her husband after four decades of coercive control, and spent eight years in prison before her conviction was quashed following decided campaigning from her family who produced evidence of years of gaslighting and manipulation at the hands of her husband. The high profile case put a spotlight on coercive control and how insidious it is. Her son, domestic abuse campaigner and author of ‘The Unthinkable: A Story of Control, Violence and My Mother’, David Challen, joins Seán to discuss. Image: Hachette UK
