Last night Coronation Street aired a special episode centred around domestic abuse and controlling and coercive behaviour in the relationship between Theo and Todd.

Domestic abuse can affect both women and men and can occur in same s*x relationships. It can be physical, emotional, s*xual, or financial.
It can be repeated, random or habitual, and is used to control a partner.

If any of the behaviour displayed in tonight’s episode resonates with you, or you are concerned someone you know may be suffering domestic abuse, then help is available.
