“I had to ask permission to go buy a pint of milkâ€

Joshua Rozenberg speaks to Gemma Doherty about the physical and emotional abuse she suffered while living with her partner. He sought to control every aspect of Gemma's life: from who she socialised with, her diet, to an enforced exercise regime. Gemma's partner became one of the first men jailed under the new laws on coercive and controlling behaviour.
