I'm very relieved for Evan that this part of her nightmare is over.

I recommend watching Evan's documentary #PhoenixRising

Manson's actions have come at a huge cost to Evan. She had to give up her son (see 2/2). When will he face consequences?

Yes, it was bloody freezing.

“Violence is not always motivated by a desire to gain or resist control. Sometimes it is primarily an expression of anger or frustration. Sometimes it is a matter of self-image. Sometimes it is simply a bid for attention.”

Proselytising forgiveness so that the victim is pressurised to get past being violated, to make it more comfortable for everyone else.

I often hear victim/survivors say they need an apology, in order for them to move on.

Sadly, someone’s healing can’t be contingent on the abuser acknowledging/atoning for their actions as, in the vast majority of cases, an abuser will deny or minimise, leaving disappointment and no resolution.

I have lost count of all the times I’ve heard a professional say: “She keeps choosing abusive boyfriends.”

She doesn’t choose abusive boyfriends. No one does. No abuser presents badly, at first.

They disarm you by lovebombing you, and convincing you you’re ‘soul mates’.

So many survivors never get the apology they so badly need.

One thing I’ve learned from reporting on abuse and its patterns is that abusers and their enablers respond viciously to people talking about abuse. They don’t want people to learn about and recognize abuse, theirs or otherwise. They don’t want the status quo that benefits abusers to change.

Time and time I get approached by victim/survivors and asked it what they have been enduring is #coercivecontrol.

The conversation almost always ends with them saying that they didn’t think it was because they were never punched/stabbed/strangled etc and that he ONLY ever threatened it.

I’ve spent nearly 10 years on cultivating a better understanding of #coercivecontrol and recovering- first as a campaigner/advocate and now, on the frontline.

There is a new website coming soon, with a new direction.

In the meantime, here are some food pics…

Am I the only one who thinks this intense bromance between Musk and Trump is going to end badly?

Lovebombing usually does.

Is there a hierarchy of harm? There is certainly more gaslighting around on how emotional abuse is just *mean words.*

Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR).

We don’t have the language to adequately describe #coercivecontrol.

With physical abuse we don’t need the language. It’s not necessary because the evidence is in front of our eyes.

With coercive control, it is different. We can not simply rely on our eyes.

We need more.

In 10 years of speaking to hundreds of victim/survivors of #coercivecontrol seeking support, I have continually heard the same thing:

Ongoing support is crucial.

A single person to contact, to minimise having to constantly repeat.

Being given a list of organisations to contact is not support.

Why am I here?

I’m seeing more and more posts on *that* platform giving dating advice that is manipulative and coercive.

How can we understand healthy relationships when the advice that is being promoted so prolifically is abusive?
