'Hearing her share this trauma left me reeling – but I also felt less alone with what I’ve experienced myself' - David_Challen writes, after Charlize Theron said she was 'not ashamed' of her mum
If I was asked where I was spending Christmas, I’d say with a friend or my brother. If they asked where my parents were I’d tell them my mum is in prison and my father is no longer alive. If they pulled at the thread, they’d get more.
Through the years I visited my mum in prison, I also grew to understand how children of parents in prison can all too easily go off the rails, unprotected from this raw emotion. In 2015, as a new law was brought in that recognises coercive control, my life changed. It was the groundwork for a landmark appeal in February this year that. She was released back to us after almost a decade in prison.
