If You Have to Ask "Is It That Bad?" — It Is
From the outside, it looked like Christine Dillard walked out of her seventeen-year marriage overnight. In reality, she'd spent three and a half years quietly planning her exit. She built a career, a safety net and a timeline that would protect her kids. Christine is a South Dakota mum and the author of The Truth She Showed Me. She joins Ruby to talk about the micro-behaviours that add up to coercive control and why leaving is the most dangerous moment. She also shares what peace actually feels like on the other side.
