About this listen

In Episode Two Danny shares the heartbreaking story of his mother, isolated by depression, limited English and financial abuse by her sons. Forced to sell her home – a decision she didn’t fully understand – Danny’s mother became increasingly isolated and disempowered.

Through his story, Danny reflects on the devastating impact of elder abuse within families and the barriers older people can face when language, mental health, and trust collide.

This story is a moving reminder of the importance of culturally safe, accessible support and really listening to older people.
