Hakeem, Part One

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ - this episode explores domestic abuse in a same-sex relationship. 

Part one of Hakeem's story explores how he entered an abusive relationship from a young age and how his inexperience and fear of coming out made it hard for him to recognise that he was being abused, and even harder to leave the relationship.
