#FridayThoughts 🤔 Evidently, Social Workers bullied a vulnerable mother into a psychotic state and triggered an horrific situation that was totally preventable. Already under investigation, this team was desperate to evade further scrutiny at any cost. 🙈🙉🙊#injustice

She was shot in the stomach during a fight and indicted for manslaughter. Fetal personhood is here. Please note the new order of societal priority: - Men - fetuses - property - women - pregnant people al.com/news/birmingham/2019/…

A teenage boy gave evidence against his father in trial for murder of his mother after years of abuse He told court he wished anyone, his neighbours, family or friends had said something because he was too scared to do so Don’t you dare tell me it’s not your duty to speak up

The Far Right will not be good for pregress re #domesticviolence. It's beginning to feel like this already. Ministers will not even listen to survivor stories. The Mark Field & Boris situations all brushed under carpets. But I'm absolutely not giving up. No Way 👍
Steve Bannon is a key figure in an attempted far-right coup. He has billionaires behind him and the ambition is to undo the progress since World War Two, and especially since the 1960s. Feminism and diversity are their enemy. Bannon was behind Trump and steers Boris Johnson

Off all the absurd reactions to #borisgate, questioning the neighbours’ actions in calling the police is the worst one. If you ever have concerns about a neighbour, don’t hesitate to call the police. Talk to @womensaid if you need more advice.

Dr. Sue Whitcombe promotes parental alienation and trains others - she owns her own practice..seems like there’s a financial incentive for her blatant disregard for the safety of women and children. Also serves as an expert witness. fpscic.org/

Why does it feel like you can't even think straight? B/c you can't - yet. FOG is common after trauma. Your MIND needs to rest. To gain clarity. This cannot be done while 'in it'. Time & MUCH distance required. CLEAR YOUR LIFE. Give yourself PEACE. Breathe, breathe.

In the midst of writing a blog on what to do if you (or someone you know) is suffering economic abuse (a form of coercive financial control linked to domestic abuse). It's a difficult subject. The balance between abuse and help is a fine line. Hope to publish next week.

lawgazette.co.uk/news/campai… NO NO NO NO NO ! All the hard work we do day in day out, lobbying MPs, bravely sharing our stories, campaigning, could be wiped out by this and put children with abusers. I’m living proof. This contact at all cost is wrong @LouHaigh

Britain 2019: after 9 years of Tory gov 19% of children’s families struggle to afford to buy food, despite us being one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Children going hungry is Tory policy #austerity #GTTO bbc.com/news/education-46810…

There is no doubt. I often think the recovery & healing from abuse can feel more difficult than what we've lived through. It can certainly feel like that at times. That shame is not ours but it feels like it is, & we often carry it for so so long. What a journey this is.

#NarcissisticAbuse TAKES. This #abuse can be slow & subtle. We may not know what it is. Over time we know 'something' isn't right. We try to figure it out. Make it better. Nothing works. Over time, we become SO depleted. Exhausted. #Recovery & #healing is a marathon.

You're never as powerless as they make you feel. If you had no power, they wouldn't try to silence you. If you didn't speak the truth, they wouldn't work so hard to discredit you. The ones, who try to stop you from speaking are the ones scared you will.
