Quotes

• I understand now why, if you are in an emotionally abusive relationship, how difficult it can feel to speak up or escape it [...] Part of the abuse is that it removes your layers of self-confidence until you are so co-dependent that you don’t think you can exist without the other person. Often the other person is telling you things like "You'll never find anyone who loves you like I do." I’ve had that said to me in that relationship.
  • Interview with Audrey Ward, as cited in "Elizabeth Day: At 45 I will never be a mother. I’ve made peace with it", The Sunday Times (25 February 2024).
