Tortoise MEDIA have made a podcast (6 episodes) covering the real case of a woman who was duped into having a relationship online with a man called "Bobby" for a decade. It was covered on Women's hour at radio 4 yesterday. It is utterly chilling that another person could control someone to this extent. It is a compelling and disturbing story of coercive control.
I wondered if anyone else has listened to these podcasts?

Three sides to every story and all that. I’m reminded of those women who send their entire life savings to “American Special Forces Officers” or such like, despite only ever having interacted with them on line. I think more than anything they’re paying for the attention. Deep down their know it’s BS but they love the “love” and excitement so they pretend to themselves that it’s real. Then it all wears off and they’re left penniless feeling like utter fools and have to pretend they had no clue. I think Kirat is one of those.
