In this episode, we are honored to have Lorraine Fulton as our guest, taking us on an emotionally profound journey through her story. Lorraine bravely opens up about her personal odyssey, recounting her escape from an abusive relationship and the ongoing challenges she has encountered in dealing with her former partner. From the disturbing instances of her ex force-feeding her children to the heartbreaking account of him attempting to restrict even the most basic necessities, like the amount of toilet paper they can use. All the while, he cynically evokes "mental health grounds" as a tactic to "get off work" and "get out of paying for the children".
