I have not watched the film yet but Maddie has done quite a few interviews on betrayal trauna associated to being a partner of an offfender.

Makes me feel a little less alone......

I admire her for being able to put her pain into a play. It can't be easy to relive it over and over again. I've listened to a few of her interviews as well and just really appreciate putting herself out there. As we all know, this is such a shameful crime. we need more voices like hers.

How can we watch the actual film?
I too was impressed with her honesty and courage, and when watching this interview, found myself saying 'yes that's me!' over and over again.
But what strikes me the most is about how others going through similar situations helped her cope with her situation. She talks about the severe loneliness in her head that's involved when hardly anyone knows what's going on. I really suffer from this and would LOVE to connect with others in my area. I am going to have a word with the helpline to see if there is a way of us doing this. I think it's so important.

Thank you so much for this recommendation. I have had a listen and although it's sad, it is a relief to hear someone talk openly about it, especially as someone who decided to stay with her husband.

From the talks I've heard it sounds like it was performed as a play but she has said that it is available to listen to on audible for anyone interested x
