It's about time victims stopped going from the frying pan into the fire upon ending an abusive relationship.
Systems should help rather than hinder them reclaiming their lives.

When I first confided in a friend about my ex’s abuse, they responded, “But we don’t want to pick sides, he’s always been so nice to us.”

Remaining neutral in the face of abuse is taking a side.

• It validates the abuser’s behavior.

• It diminishes the victim’s pain.

• It signals disbelief in the victim's experience.

• It enables the abuser to continue.

Neutrality reinforces the abuser’s facade, leaving the survivor feeling isolated and unsupported.

Standing with the survivor is about doing what’s right, not about choosing sides.

Terrorism is framed as a public threat, while coercive control (CC) & domestic abuse/violence are treated as private issues. But ALL terrorism is underpinned by CC - domination and intimidation. As @nazirafzal rightly pointed out, we must act now. https://t.co/tU0i39LYSu

Coercive control isn’t always visible—it can hide in subtle manipulations, dismissals, and the gradual erosion of your autonomy, leaving survivors feeling like their voice and choices no longer matter. Decisions about finances, health, or daily life are often made without consent, and the constant fear of punishment or conflict teaches victims to suppress their needs and opinions. Even after leaving, the weight of those lost choices lingers, shaping how survivors approach decisions and reclaiming their sense of agency becomes a central part of healing.

This is nowhere near the same level of the depraved “academy,” but it’s about damn time we name fucking names. If you are a survivor, go to “https://t.co/zroTLXtakR” then take a breath & know you’re a beautiful badass.

Are you a mother in #familycourt? Have you been accused of 'parental alienation?' Welcome to the blueprint...where protective mothers are branded as 'liars' 'alienators' 'hysterical'. You are protective. #DontBelieveTheHype https://t.co/BhI0YadfSH

[Tell me no Lies 💔❤️‍🩹➡️❤️🥰🌹💪🏻🚫Narcissists🚫 @lovewins11011]

A narcissist lies.
Then lies about the lie.
Then lies about lying about the lie.
Then plays victim to escape the blame.

Yet somehow you’re the crazy one…

[Shadows of Control @shadows_control]

In abuse, love isn't granted unconditionally; it’s a prize dangled just out of reach, something you’re made to feel unworthy of. Kind words come only when you’ve done exactly as they want, leaving you chasing after a version of love that’s unpredictable. And so, you learn to settle for crumbs, forgetting that love was never meant to be something you have to earn.

[Kate Brothers @katebrothers_]

@RupertLowe10 Sadly, data overwhelmingly show that family courts encourage ‘parental alienation’ allegations by abusive men, in order to undermine disclosures of abuse by protective mothers and their kids. This is the *real* silver bullet. And it’s big bucks for the custody industrial complex.

[Narcissistic Abuse Awareness @AwareOfTheNarc]

When a narcissist can’t control you anymore, they try to control how others see you.

https://t.co/ZKba3zF9lO Michigan mom jailed. Her daughter experienced panic and fear during a court-ordered exchange & Rachel called police for help. They determined that the exchange should not be forced. The mother was arrested for kidnapping for returning home with her child.
