Being this back to support those who are caught in abuse, leaving abuse, fearful of leaving. For people who once again are being dismissed, diminished by strangers on this platform. You are NOT to blame. DM me if you like. I will believe you. Abuse is not just physical violence.

There’s our Lisa with her symbolic bunch of flowers. Sunflowers can symbolise steadfast loyalty, and devotion; promise of enduring commitment.
Tracks with how adamant she’s been that she only wants Carla, even in the depths of coercive control, that fact has been solid. #swarla

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

This. Analysis that hits deep.

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

At the moment I think what Carla wants is physical reassurance, contact to sink into (as we saw with Roy) and she superficially (and I mean base level emotional state cause; trauma) can’t have it now.

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

@Alcove_Seven So well put.

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

@topcac @aussiebec1981 I see many real victims desperately try to share their stories and educate and are being attacked, bullied by loud voices, teased and dismissed. That is abuse. Makes me very worried and frightened for victims.

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

The takes on here. Lisa was a willing participant. Lisa wasn’t assaulted because the show didn’t tell us. Lisa slept with Becky so she cheated on Carla. Coercion CANNOT, DOES NOT ever equal consent. It really is that simple. Don’t want to see it? In RL abusers would LOVE you.

This.

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

“I don’t get why Lisa is like this, she wasn’t like this before” people are almost there, yet also so far away. We didn’t see Lisa before, with Becky. We got glimpses, sure. We saw healing Lisa with Carla’s support. Now we are seeing the Lisa that endured about 20 years of abuse.

Need to amplify this. Please, if you find similarities in your life, life of loved ones, please reach out. It isn’t easy, it isn’t always the immediate solution, but it’s a start. Don’t listen to the ignorant, haters, enablers. Please reach out. I see you. I believe you.

LISA. IS. BEING. ABUSED.
SHE. IS. A. VICTIM.
#swarla #corrie

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

@Alcove_Seven Feels like this needs to be the disclaimer on the episodes. It was a lot to read, I’ve been in an abusive relationship. Can see things now that I didn’t see when I was in the relationship. This is well written and spot on.

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

This is excellent. The insight. It’s spot on. #swarla

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

My 2 cents worth:
#swarla #corrie

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

One cannot genuinely consent when they are being controlled by another. When you are living in a dangerous environment, and if you say no all the time to someone’s advances, but then let them have their way, you did not consent. You were coerced. #swarla #corrie

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

Little louder for those deniers and enablers, though sadly they’ll never accept that Lisa’s decisions/actions are borne of Becky’s abuse.

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

Coercive control is a pattern of behaviours. Days, weeks, months, years. Victims are terrified, dismissed, trapped, they lose their identity, their independence. They are not to blame. Ever.
Lisa is not to blame. Ever.
Betsy is not the blame. Ever. #swarla #corrie

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

Emotional Abuse is when someone verbally humiliates / belittles you, controls (isolates) who you see, who you speak with, insists on all your attention, lays blame at your feet, threatens anyone who gets in their way.
So in other words, Becky Swain’s actions. #swarla #corrie

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

The invalidation of abuse is astounding, & frightening. Dismissing real victims who IMPLORE you to see what is happening, is not only just damn rude but does harm that a victim might not recover. Enabling through dismissiveness is an awful trait, please do better. #swarla #corrie

[Jac E @TryingHard1975]

Thank you. So so important. We all know especially this time of year, abuse becomes amplified, but in general, just thank you. This is so terribly needed.

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

The problem (and there are many) is that Carla doesn’t have a strong presence in her home anymore. Becky has gutted it, systematically. She has her claws into both Bets and Lisa so any ‘logic’ we might hope would appear simply isn’t going to just happen. #swarla

[Lisa @Alcove_Seven]

Just a note: victims don’t need to apologise when they are finally free of the abuser. They probably will, in abundance, because they’d been conditioned to hold all the blame, but they do not need to say sorry to anyone.
