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.

In the rush towards a law on assisted dying, the vulnerable have become expendable | Sonia Sodha Concerns that Kim Leadbeater’s proposed legislation is ‘flawed and dangerous’ are being overlooked

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

Finding this Marvin Gaye dance track soothingly hypnotic
Whilst making an inventory of what to give up
Try it
If you don’t make space …?
Cathartic

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.

Stealing Joy: How Abusers Strip Victims of Their Hobbies and Talents Abusive relationships often take more than just peace and safety—they steal passions and hobbies too.

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

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.
