📣URGENT REQUEST:
If your ex partner was convicted (or findings made) of serious crime such as rape, murder or attempted murder, actual bodily harm or offences against children, and they retained their parental responsibility, you need to get in touch!
When someone is abusing you by forcing you to live under a regime of coercive control the abuse is constant, not episodic.
The abuser affects & harms your entire way of living.
Things that look like isolated conflicts are in fact all part of the overarching coercive control.
.@laurarichards99 is one of the keynotes for the 2nd Annual International Coercive Control Conference October 13-14.
Early bird registration is https://t.co/ch5dB1TG2c through August 31.

With domestic abuse, the same actions can mean totally different things depending on whether the victim-survivor or the abuser is carrying out the action
Examples:
Hitting - could be an attack as part of a campaign of controlling abuse, or could be a victim resisting/defending
I've been offered temp accommodation for my area to flee too but it's 100 miles away from the chosen area. This means I can't get my children to school, it will cost £300 p/w to get to work and no support network. What can I do? @Shelter#DomesticAbuse
"59% of perpetrators were given sole custody and
the rest were given joint custody or unsupervised visitation. After failing to be protected in the first custody determination, 88% of children reported new incidents of abuse." 4/5
@BarnettAdrienne This happened to me and it took 8 years total to turn this around. My children endured 8 years of abuse from their dad, I was not believed nor were they. Its far too common and unacceptable and this allowed my perp to use my children to abuse me further after separation
@BarnettAdrienne This was my case. My son would make allegations of abuse against his dad but nothing was done. The his dad did not return him. I was alienated for 2 years whilst going through court where my son then said i abused him. It came to light his dad had brainwashed him in this time
@AbuseTalkOnline It could be better! I'm not entirely unhappy but think there's always room for improvement. I guess that's societies fault for generating an unrealistic body goal!
@CarlBoylin @MyClickInTime@TrueParental My ex was offered this and unless the person is willing to accept they have done wrong and willing to make changes they will not be accepted onto the course or last on the course. This is the problem
