Big Sister Hotline, Ep 31: Feat. AILEEN QUINN (PART 2)

*****Part two of the Hotline's episode with AILEEN QUINN comes with a very big content warning for domestic abuse, sexual coercion and manipulation.**** The Hotline received a question submission from a woman whose husband is behaving in a coercive manner and using manipulative tactics to try to force her into sexual engagement with him. I double checked with the Little Sister that she was comfortable having her situation shared so publicly, and she was clear she wanted the discussion to be had. Since recording this episode with Aileen, I've also shared the audio with the LS so she could listen to it privately and safely before knowing it was out in the world. She has since confirmed she is happy for it to be made public, and so I'm sharing this now as a bonus episode.Please remember to go gently while listening. If you recognise any of what we discuss in your own relationship, please understand that you can seek support and help from 1800-RESPECT. Sexual coercion is abuse. I am glad to report that our little sister here has since reached out to 1800 RESPECT to receive further advice on what to do, and she is putting some things in place to try to extricate her and her children from this situation.

Welcome to the Big Sister Hotline! Presented weekly by Clementine Ford, this is your place to ask all the questions you STILL don’t know the answers to about sex, friendships, relationships, family and life stuff, with the kind of frank advice you could expect to get from the person who loves you most - your big sister. Because life isn’t easy, and sometimes we all need a big sister to call on.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/clementineford-bigsisterhotline.
