Switched

Sophie lives in New Zealand. She has been dominated and abused by her husband Colin for decades. But now her life is at a turning point as her and her children's financial future is threatened. Her husband intends to gamble more and more of their assets. He ignores her wants and needs. She wants to act but is afraid he might kill her this time. She has brave friends ready to challenge him, who have been planning, scheming and organising. But Sophie struggles with any independent action. She must give herself permission to hope, to dream and to act. She must switch herself from automatic to manual control. And that is a huge switch. That requires her to think, to plan, to feel, to become more vulnerable in order to take control of herself off him. She isn't sure she can do it. She is certain he will fight it. And she is terrified of him.
