Nikki told the Guardian: “As heartbreaking and hard as it is to talk about what happened, we need to make sure that nobody else has to go through what we all have.
"People of any gender or age can find themselves in coercive and controlling relationships. Hopefully, this will help others look out for the signs.”

A documentary on Channel 4 telling Angel's devastating story is due to air on May 9, 2023.
Speaking ahead of the documentary release her family said:
"We’ve had to do this because this is how we tell other people about being coerced and how easy it is, even if you’re strong minded, that it can happen to you and to just get out of it, because I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through what we’ve been through."
How is Angel Lynn now?
In an interview on BBC Breakfast, her parents said that Angel was doing well.
The improvements Angel is making was something that medical professionals and her family thought impossible.
Nikki said: "She's doing really well. She can write, she is taking small sips of drink and they [her physiotherapists] are standing her up now.
"They are really good. She gets a bit moody sometimes when she is being bent around but it's doing her the world of good. She's loosening up."
Angel has learnt to communicate in short sentences with the assistance of an iPad.
The possibility of her walking again is getting closer as she recently stood again for the first time with the assistance of physiotherapists.
Angel's mum said “Now she can write on her tablet. Use the remote control to watch TV. Wipe her own mouth. She can’t talk yet, maybe one day, but she can still express her sense of humour.”
