Isolation isn’t a side effect of abuse—it’s a strategy. The more alone you are, the harder it is to see the truth, and the easier you are to control.
I don't want to live in a society where people with complicated lives and vulnerabilities are seen as expendable in easing the suffering of others. But that's exactly what this assisted dying bill would achieve.

Make Space
Shed something
Lightly does it

Whilst making an inventory of what to give up
Try it
If you don’t make space …?
Cathartic
Got to give it up

Must read- the Public Shaming of women in Italy- but could easily be so many other countries. This is a global phenomenon.
We must acknowledge migrant mothers’ experiences of #legal #injustice through the weaponisation of #law. Legal entrapment through The #HagueConvention is the lived reality of mothers fleeing violence and abuse across borders worldwide and it hinders their access to #humanrights.

Abusers erode their partner's identity and sense of self through 'death by a thousand cuts'. Each 'cut' seems small, but when repeated again and again, the resulting emotional wounds are huge. #emotionalabuse
Stay tuned for groundbreaking and important #media reporting coming soon. It’s about time we get serious about fundamental reform of our #familycourt system.

Monday Motivation @luna-coaching.bsky.social
Domestic abuse takes more than just peace and safety—abusers steal passions and hobbies too. Survivors share how they lost touch with what once brought them joy and the journey to reclaim their interests.
The fault of sexual abuse lies solely with the perpetrator. It is never the survivor's fault. Much like domestic abuse, the motivation behind SA is power & control. It is a misconception that it is driven by sexual motives.
It was not your fault. You are not alone #itsnotokay
"Many victims of domestic abuse are often shocked at how much worse the abusive behaviors are after the ending of a relationship— often much worse than they were even during the relationship."- Kaytee Gillis

Coercive control to be put on par with other types of domestic abuse in England and Wales
Really pleased to share that our rapid systematic review on adolescent domestic abuse has now been published link.springer.com/article/10.1... . The article focuses on risk & protective factors. Brilliant to work with such a good team on this. @drsophiecarlisle.bsky.social @ktbg1.bsky.social
Coercive control to be put on par with other types of domestic abuse in England and Wales
When I left my abusive husband, he told me I was ‘quitting’ and ‘giving up’ and ‘not trying’ to fix our marriage. Clearly, he felt I had a responsibility to continue enduring abuse. 1/2
The relentless assault on mothers when they dare speak out about abuse in the home. An assault supported and encouraged by the family court.

There's a point in our trauma recovery we realize-- much to our chagrin (my chagrin, anyway, when I realized this)-- that avoidance actually makes us feel more fearful than safe.
That happens w/ every drug of abuse, including avoidance-- the juice stops being worth the squeeze.
During my controlling marriage, I would thank my abusive husband for allowing me to go places or do things, which were my right to do as an autonomous human being, with or without permission.

Excited for this
@drproudman.bsky.social waterstones.com/book/he-said... from family courts failing to protect victims from abusers to the misogynistic bullying Charlotte herself receives from senior members of her profession the problem is clear...women across the country are suffering
If you’re questioning whether it’s abuse, remember: violence starts long before a fist is raised. Recognize the signs and know you deserve better. #BreakTheCycle
