Laura and David Challen, son of Sally Challen and author of The Unthinkable, unravel the insidious and lifelong harm coercive control causes a child.

David speaks candidly about his lived experience, the realities of growing up with a coercively controlling father, and his horrifying experience at his mothers’s trial where she was convicted of his fathers’s murder.

Listen and find out what David discovered when he went through all the trial transcripts. It angered him so much he started to campaign for his mother’s appeal and eventual successful release.

David also recently joined Laura for an exclusive live event and the recording is available now in the Squad for those who want to go deeper on this conversation. This conversation was compelling and eloquently gives language and insight into living with his abusive and coercively controlling father.
