Abusers don't lose control they stay fully in control hence abusers often where a mask of 'nice' & 'calm'. Victims become so traumatised/unwell, but abusers induce this in their victims then weaponise their trauma against them 'she's crazy'. In #familycourt & beyond tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@drproudman.bsky.social a barrister with extensive experience of #familycourt reports she's NEVER witnessed a judge in FC find that a child has been s@xually abused.

The #trauma journey is long and hard. It's not as easy as many people think it will be, it's a cliché but be kind to yourself, take it easy on yourself.

Many don't know this, but Socrates also noted that Aspasia taught him about the MOST important aspects of life (his words) of Love and higher being/transcendence. She was mistress in the sense of wise-woman and teacher and not amoral as some claim.

As this govt nears its first year in power—still without a substantial real terms funding increase to honour its pledge to halve violence against women and girls—the speed of approval to show Adolescence in schools feels like PR. Where is the national strategy, the support, the training?
