Women allegedly abused by Andrew Tate decry ‘misleading’ Spectator article

This post explores ‘Freedom Day’- the day children can no longer be forced into contact with an abusive parent, nor subjected to interference from courts. It marks the end of a long, traumatic process, & the beginning of another: the aftermath... drelizabethdalgarno.substack.com/p/freedom-da...

This post discusses reproductive coercion of #mothers/#women in the family courts and the linked outcomes for #children.

What is your take on this? Still digesting but something striking is the fact that a professional being in a litigant's home turns the litigant's home into a 'professional setting'. Is anyone else struck by this? In what other role does this occur? www.judiciary.uk/guidance-and...

When parasitic people are exposed either in a professional or personal relationships, they’ll use terms like crazy or “driven mad by activism” as deflection tactics. It’s convenient to do so, & this maintains an illusion that they are beyond reproach & not harmed, manipulated or abused their power.

'no single body accountable for overall performance, nor a shared understanding of what good looks like from the perspective of families and children...that costs the taxpayer more than £1.8bn in 2023-24' #familycourt todaysfamilylawyer.co.uk/nao-gives-da...

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....
