Did you know that when the government calls shooting victims “domestic terrorists,” they’re actually using a classic abuser tactic called DARVO?

This is so true 👇...
When someone abuses you & destroys you mentally & emotionally, they will take your natural reaction to their abuse, twist it & use it against you.
This is what happens time & again in #FamilyCourt - the victim of #DomesticAbuse is repeatedly blamed & judged for their natural trauma responses, yet the abuser is not held accountable for their abuse - yet they are the ones who caused the trauma 🤷♀️
The "victim-blamers" include the perpetrator (who uses DARVO tactics), the perpetrator's family & friends... & then the ultimate damage is done when #familycourt, judges, #cafcass, #socialworkers, & psychologist "experts" for court also follow the perpetrator's narrative, & blame the victim.
Something is incredibly wrong, when perpetrators are enabled & victims are punished - by a system that should be about justice.
Congratulations! I'm ordering my copy today. #CoerciveControl #SystemicCoerciveControl #SystemicTransformation
It’s ready! We are thrilled to announce that “FRAMED: Women in the Family Court Underworld” is now AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER! @AmyPolacko and I hope all women get themselves a copy - plus some for the women they care about. 🧵

The #QuicksandModel has graphic illustrations for #CoerciveControl and #SystemicCoerciveControl that are described so well in this post.

Below is a quote from my PhD data provided by a clinical psychologist who works with families where one partner, usually a lawyer, doctor, executive or other professional, is a narcissist/psychopath subjecting the family to coercive control, a form of violence which is not physical.
“The impact on victims is profoundly damaging and life threatening, even in those who are the victims/targets of those (narcissists/psychopaths/dark personality) who are higher functioning. Adults and children can both experience suicidal ideation as well as suicide attempts, in the context of depression and anxiety and they can also start self-harm behaviours including disordered eating issues, drug and alcohol dependence and cutting. These behaviours emerge to cope with the immense overwhelm and despair they are experiencing. There are times adult victims feel they are going to go ‘crazy’, and they feel so trapped and stuck like there is no way out of ‘this hell’ except to die. Even once an adult partner has escaped a marriage the behaviour continues toward them because they share children and sometimes custody access. There is no escape even post separation. The torture continues and the family court system cannot help the victims once final orders are made. Victims often do not know who to turn to for validation and support. Victims do not feel believed and start to despair at the isolation of their experience. Adults can sometimes cease to be able to work or quit their jobs. Children struggle to attend school and engage in meaningful peer relationships. Some children develop extreme behaviours such as conversion disorders (pseudo fainting) as a way of managing overwhelm. Interpersonal relationships become strained and ruptured between the non-toxic parent (victim) and their children which creates an added layer of despair for the victim which can become unbearable. Honestly, I am surprised that the victims I have worked with are still alive."
@natalyanderson Unfortunately, Yes. I call this #SystemicCoerciveControl, but regardless of what you call it, it's wrong and needs to be urgently addressed!
💯 And when the system punishes protective parents for doing so, they become part of the problem! #SystemicCoerciveControl #QuicksandModel #PivotToThePerpetrator
Helping your kids make sense of violence and abuse is not alienation. It’s a good parenting. #ParentalAlienation #CoerciveControl
Agreed! I call it #SystemicCoerciveControl
We did it!!!
So true! #SystemicCoerciveControl
What’s interesting to me is that the law magically works when it’s a female perpetrator so..

Congratulations @jjfreydcourage ! Your work is transforming the field by inspiring others to motivate change. I integrated #DARVO into my @QuicksandModel of #CoerciveControl, & your work in #InstitutionalBetrayal, in part, inspired what I call #SystemicCoerciveControl TY! 🙌👏🙌
I'm so grateful for this recognition and I do hope it helps bring attention to the enormous cost of interpersonal and institutional betrayal trauma along with the remarkable promise of institutional courage.
And even when survivors do realize it, we are still entrapped by social structures that prevent our escape from the quicksand of coercive control that we are surrounded by. #QuicksandModel #SystemicCoerciveControl
The foundation of your house collapses. The neighbors stand around in disbelief & thank g*d you are safe. Yet when the coercive controller is eroding away a victim’s world, we often ask: Why did she stay? It’s hard to escape when we don’t know our world is collapsing under us.
#FamilyCourts are enabling the continued victimization of survivors of #DomesticAbuse and #CoerciveControl. This is #SystemicCoerciveControl and it is a #HumanRightsViolation
It is so hard to believe that a murderer could EVER be able to put his name on the headstone of children he murdered! #Justice #SystemicCoerciveControl #Filicide🤮
Robert Farquharson’s name has been removed from the headstone of his three children, whom he murdered in 2005.
This is a result of legislative changes in 2021. #PolicyMatters
May these murdered children - finally - rest in peace. @WomenCountUSA https://t.co/iNvmO66YgA
At a time when family court and family law is garnering so many negative headlines this is truly shocking.
Now I've raised this previously as some of my followers know.
While many men say that #FamilyLaw
Is bias towards mothers and against fathers etc.
What we find is the president of the #FamilyCourt while being happy to meet with senior @MyCafcass officers and also families need fathers he declines to meet women's groups particularly those who speak about #DomesticAbuse.
While family court has been criticised for years on this very issue we have a president who makes this even worse.
How can judicial office holders ensure equality of treatment to all when they won't meet women's groups?
They can't.
This is exceptionally bad practise and in my view dangerous. We are seeing the bias in family law and while people claim this is towards mothers what in fact we are seeing is that its the the opposite.
Equality means listening to both sides not one.
@SheraFamily are well respected by many and their research is important to many as are the people who work for shera.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention again but as we know and have raised before MacFarlane has been doing this for years.

#Himpathy is alive and well in 2024! It's a damn shame society can't ever seem to muster the same level of compassion for #CoerciveControllers targeted victims! #SystemicCoerciveControl #EqualityNow #Equality #DominationSystems
#PartnershipSystems #QuicksandModel
He's a murderer and he's lucky the criminal justice system seems to reward these people by giving them the most lenient sentences possible.
Thank you @NCJFCJ for shining a light on this critical issue! #FamilyCourt #SystemicCoerciveControl @SafeTennessee
I agree 100%! This interview is FABULOUS! #JoanMeier #FamilyCourt #CoerciveControl #NSPO #SystemicTransformation #SystemicCoerciveControl
Fantastic interview with @profjoanmeier who reviews her path forward for family court. She went into more details of her research that shows allegations acceptance low and discusses the four reasons abuse is dismissed. 🧵

A Post for Human Rights Day 2023. This years theme is: "Equality, reducing inequalities, advancing human rights."
Hmmm 🤔
How many human rights are being breached every day in family court?!
Too many‼️
When parents enter family court, their rights to protect their child are effectively removed. The child's rights to be safe appears to go out of the window.
There also seems to be a vast inequality between how mothers & fathers are treated in family court, plus the parent with more money is often treated more favourably than the parent with no funds. There is no equality here.
So, let's look at some of the Articles & how these need to be addressed in family court...
➡️ Article 2: Right to Life:
Everyone's life is to be protected by law, including taking steps to ensure a person is protected if their life is at risk.
Yet judges, cafcass, social workers, "experts" etc continually put lives at risk when they ignore abuse & enforce children into contact with an abusive parent.
The way this needs to be addressed is for professionals to LISTEN to children & safe parents, when they raise concerns over abuse. Then, instead of the presumption of contact, there needs to be an honest review looking at what is best FOR THE CHILD.
I believe that the government @GOVUK has a big role to play in this... they are being told time & again about the state family courts are in, therefore they are not oblivious. They have a duty to ensure that the laws & correct protocols are followed. But first they need to know exactly what is going on behind those secret doors - so, we need transparency for all cases.
➡️ Article 3: Freedom from torture & inhuman or degrading treatment:
Well, many people I've spoken to have alikened the family court to a place of torture. The way victims of domestic abuse are questioned on, & vilified for, their mental health; the way confidential medical records are shared within the court; the way survivors are treated as though they are criminals, when all they are trying to do is advocate for their child's safety; the way children are ordered to speak to strangers, then silenced if they speak about abuse; the way children are forced to have contact with an abusive parent they fear; the way children are removed from their safe parent... this is all going to cause serious psychological harm.
So, again, it is vital that we have transparency from the very beginning. Also, how about introducing a law whereby all meetings with cafcass, social workers etc, are recorded, for use as evidence. This would surely stop a lot of the underhand tactics & lies that go on?!
➡️ Article 6: Right to a fair trial:
Well, we all know this doesn't happen in family court don't we!?!
Inequality & imbalances of financial status, plus pre-existing biases & opinions make for extremely unfair hearings, of which the ones who lose out the most are children.
Transparency & accountability would ensure this was addressed.
➡️ Article 8: Right to respect for a private & family life:
This right is definitely NOT respected in family court. Children torn away from their safe parent are being deprived of their right to family life.
This absolutely needs resolving. No child should be removed from their safe parent against their will.
➡️ Article 14: Protection from discrimination:
Well, I think we can all say that discrimination is currently happening in family court! How many of us victims have been treated far less favourably than the perpetrator?!
How many of us are discriminated against due to being female, of a minority group, or suffering poor mental health from abuse? If the whole court process was transparent & exposed from the beginning, & right the way through the case, we would have more of a chance of addressing these barriers to justice.
These are just some of my thoughts on the human rights violations happening regularly in family court. There are so many of us speaking out now, raising the alarm & calling for reform, that this cannot be ignored any longer.

💯 This is #SystemicCoerciveControl
The systemic betrayal that is allowed to persist based on the patriarchal norms assimilated into our cultural - needs to be annihilated. Coercion & Control inflicted by the systems is causing PREVENTABLE intergenerational trauma.
