Richard Madeley apologises for 'misjudged' advice column about domestic violence
The TV presenter has been criticised by charities over his response to a Telegraph reader asking for advice about a neighbour.news.sky.com
Unfortunately for us 'lucky ones' who have been through it. I can say from my own experience I was too emotionally controlled to have the confidence to speak out. My ex always made me believe it was my fault and no one would believe me.
He also hurt me in places I could cover up like my arm or my leg.
I had a young child and for some reason didnt want to be a single mum. I was made to believe I needed him as a provider. ( He used to say he earned double my salary etc)
I used to live in a terraced house and have no idea if my neighbours heard anything.
Victims of violence are scared and need someone to help them. The only reason i eventually found the courage to speak out was because I went to work with blood pouring down my head after he strangled, kicked me and head butted me!
I for one having gained controlled of my life and stood up to an abuser would never want someone to not speak out.
