@axrenton @_caitlinasmith @BBCRadio4 In tears listening today. I've lived with the consequences of non-sexual abuse at prep school for 50yrs. Non-sexual? Kicked, punched & humiliated by staff in a brutal regime. 5 solid yrs of fight or flight mode and 5 decades of ptss. Thank you for shinging a light in dark corners

@carrdale @_caitlinasmith @BBCRadio4 Thank you for sharing this. Abuse is abuse, whether physical or psychological. The damage may play out for whole lives. I hope later episodes of #InDarkCorners make clear how seriously we take such stories, even if they won't interest the police or public inquiries.

@axrenton @_caitlinasmith @BBCRadio4 This is hugely important - shining a light onto these dark places and what the effects are on the ruling classes they nurture.

@axrenton @_caitlinasmith @BBCRadio4 Replying to @axrenton @_caitlinasmith and @BBCr4 Listened to In Dark Corners today for first time. Astonished by the way the whole 'dark' tale is now being uncovered. I was there too. 40 years of depression, addiction etc. Thanks for clearing some to it away.
