People ask why victims stay. Sometimes the answer is standing in the stable. Sleeping in the kitchen. Waiting in the field. My latest article is about coercive control, animal abuse, and what happens when leaving means leaving the animals behind. open.substack.com/pub/kirstyma...

A landmark moment for domestic abuse justice. Lee Milne is the first person in Britain to be convicted by a jury of killing an ex-partner after prolonged domestic abuse, despite not physically causing her death. Kimberly, 28, took her life after years of abuse. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
