Summary

There's a moment in her story when you understand how cold and calculating a killer can be. There's a moment in her dad's story that will madden and frustrate you. There's a moment in her sister's story when you will understand how brave and empathetic families can be in the wake of violence and murder. Her name is Jacinta Louise Bush. She was only 19. Four months after her partner ended Jacinta's life, another man killed her dad Robert. For 25 years Jacinta's sister Jonty Bush has carried their legacies forward, fighting for systemic and political change in a world where perpetrator's rights almost always trump the rights of victims. Today, Jonty explains the devastating impact of losing two of the most important people in her life and how she finds the strength to keep moving forward when the barriers to change are often complex and immovable. This episode discusses coercive control, domestic violence, suicide and murder. It is not safe for children. This is Jacinta's story. And it is Robert's story.
