We all know people, particularly women who could have had different stories, different lives, different outcomes if only they had started following their head instead of their hearts. Love and the loss of love does strange things to people. Such sadness in Pauline's life, well hidden and ultimately destructive, whatever the jury finds. Well written, Niki.
Thank you for putting so well into words, what many women who have been watching this trial unfold, are thinking and can't for lots of reasons voice what they are feeling about this situation. We sadly can't change the outcome for Pauline Hanna, but surely this situation and the so many like it, can be a catalyst for change. There is so much information in the public arena about physical abuse in relationships, but very little about the narcissistic psychological abuse that traps people in relationships.

I have tried not to follow this trial - although at times couldn’t resist. This is probably the best article I have read about the whole situation!
Thank you for writing a different ending for Pauline.
