A former soldier has spoken out for the first time after he escaped years of alleged domestic abuse.
Harry Finch, a former solider, claimed he endured emotional, psychological and and physical abuse at the hands of an ex-girlfriend during their relationship. Mr Finch, now 50, said he feels the time is right to speak about his experiences to break down the stigma around being a male domestic abuse survivor - and to highlight the inadequate support in England.
Mr Finch told the ECHO he has chronic post traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety because of his time in the military.
