Sharing a couple of links
A couple of great articles in this morning's press.
In The Independent, Johann Hari on 'sympathetic' portrayals of sexual abusers in fiction. He's talking mostly about child abuse and Alan Bennett's plays, but his point applies more generally, too...and is a damn good point that can't be made often enough. (Content may be triggering - and the comments are okay right now but probably won't stay that way.)
And on a similar note, in The Guardian, Patrick Stewart writes about living with domestic abuse. Yes, that Patrick Stewart. He's done a lot of work in this area, so some may be familiar with his story, but the article is painfully honest and damned brave. (Again, content may be triggering for some.)
