To feel so uncomfortable about Bethany's story line in Corrie?

Hi xxx quite new to mumsnet. Sorry if I've put this in the wrong place.

Does anyone else feel like this?

Yes. You're not alone.

What's the story line?

As a dm with dd x3 its stomach churning to watch tbh.

It's not designed to be fun watching though is it. It's designed to tackle a horrible, but very real, issue.

It's a story line about sexual grooming, starting with one main perpitrator and growing to group abuse- I think.

I feel sick as similar happened to me as a teen at 16, but with a family member.

It is quite grim to watch, and Nathan (the groomer) is making me cringe.

This does happen though, sadly.

I hate the subject (I was abused as a child) but I'm glad they are raising awareness of it.

Storylines like this do increase the amount for f people coming forward/reporting what's happened to them/telling someone what's happening to them/accessing help etc so while it's hard to watch I'm very glad mainstream, 'family' programs show these types of storylines.
