URGENT If you are at risk of domestic abuse and have a secret phone for emergencies, the gov’s alert test on Sunday 23 April could give away its location. Please ensure your phone is switched off at this time or disable notifications. Find out how here: youtu.be/I2MBcHwmiy8

Another amazing food donation from our @WrenKitchens family at the Merry Hill branch. We are so lucky to have such wonderful Ambassadors of our work across the Midlands, and also up and down the country for our Survivors. #support #resources

Amazed at the generosity from Dunelm Oldbury, once again, this Christmas for our Survivor families. We couldn’t be more grateful! Thanks to everyone who made this possible. ♥️

When domestic abusers don't have you under the same roof anymore, they often turn their attention to punishing you for trying to break free. They manipulate systems, professionals, and use children you share to continue to harm & control you. They should be stopped! #dvam

A man wanting to jump off a bridge in London was talked down by strangers who held him for an hour until help arrived. Look at that grip. Look at the care, compassion, selflessness, and determination shown by strangers to a hurting human being. We need more of this in the world.

It doesn’t take a lot to catapult you back into an existence of fear, anxiety and nervous anticipation. The effects of trauma far out last the relationship and can manifest in ways we just don’t expect. #trauma #abuse #survivorstories

Where we are denied a right to discuss the problem, and punished without knowing what we have supposedly do. It’s purposeful so that you can’t expose that it’s all mind games without substance. It’s just control. #abusive #abuse #narclife

A common cry from Survivors is that they don’t recognise themselves, especially in their dark moments when they are filled with anger or rage. We understand what it’s like to question if we are the problem, and we help you to understand the impact of trauma. #uglytruthofabuse

Our behaviours change over time. We look to minimise altercations and aggro. We look to appease because we recognise the build of tension and what it means for us. #survivorstories

So many different guises of trauma. Ones we don’t expect or recognise…. #peoplepleasing #atourowndetriment

It’s a no win situation in which we blame, punish and hold survivors accountable for the abusers choices. Time for us to stop this shocking narrative and strive for proper Survivor support. #failingtheinnocent

We will be clear that we do not mean when a parent intentionally forces a child to reject a parent for NO REASON but when this is an extension of their abuse, and deflects from the true issue of domestic abuse and post separation abuse. We support many alienated moms and dads!
Loudly for those at the back: a persons intellect or education have no bearing on their capacity to be a victim, and the use of this decidedly condescending language is unacceptable. #timetodropthelabels #victimblaming

It bears consideration of why this features in a judgement, order or commentary, and what are the veiled connotations of it.

So many Survivor parents discuss the fact that their intelligence was gauged and commented on by Judges, based merely on their presentation or representations to the court, in relation to their child arrangement hearings.

It takes, on average, 7 attempts before a victim is finally able to fully leave a #narcissistic abuser. Why? Between the financial abuse, threatening to take the children, & the psychological warfare, it’s difficult to plan a safe way out.

We were invited to attend a multi-disciplinary group today to discuss women in the criminal justice system, as we aim to improve outcomes and experiences for survivors. #teamworking #network #survivorship
