He abused her for years. He demeaned her to his children. He controlled her financially. He sent death threats. He acted the doting dad and husband in public. And still they blame her. Her name is Kristy Armstrong. She was only 36. Kristy's mum explains how hard it was for her daughter to disclose what he was doing, the hurdles Kristy faced when she reached out for support from domestic violence services, the ongoing victim-blaming and what it's like to raise her granddaughters. This episode discusses coercive control, domestic violence, suicide and murder. It is not for children. This is Kristy's story.


This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms. She Matters is also proudly supported by Your One and Only and UNTMD Media.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
