The Bible allows victims of abuse to divorce their abusive spouses. My book sets out the scriptural arguments for this, and refutes all the misinterpretations that have disallowed divorce for abuse. #Bible #scripture #divorce #DomesticAbuse

A favourite “You don’t need authority to be a good friend.” And this one. “Around here, we look out for each other.” All of these are designed to motivate action not simply demand it. How we influence others becomes as important as any training knowledge

“See something? Start something.” “The smallest intervention can change the outcome.” “Don’t be the audience. Be the difference.” “Looking away is a choice. So is stepping in.” “Notice. Decide. Act. Every culture is built by the moments people decide to act.”

Some of my favourite lines which I use in my work. “Silence is easy. Support takes courage.” “If something feels wrong, it probably is. Act early, don’t wait on others.” “Culture can become what we walk past but importantly it can become what we stop.”

Go ask Cathy yourself. He will block you right away and start bashing you online and creating lies about you. Several survivors have met ‘Cathy’ including Brian Clare who has testified about Cathy being a man. As soon as I asked Cathy about it, he blocked me on every platform and immediately started a smear campaign about me. NEVER denied being a man. Just immediate gaslighting. Go ask him about his gender. Everyone should. Why does ‘she’ hide behind a screen? Who’s ever seen a photo of ‘Cathy’ or heard ‘her’ voice? Why are there not more questions?

@TheFionaBarnett @FreedomsFren I was told it would be best if I stopped attending church because I “talked too much about abuse and it made the other congregants uncomfortable”.

Family courts ‘not good enough’ for women and children, minister, Baroness Levitt says. ‘Problem-solving’, child-focused courts to replace adversarial hearings, with earlier intervention to cut delays. Domestic abuse must be at fore front of policy. theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

So many human predators working in the ‘justice system’: judges, magistrates…. making decisions about sex offending which: - Set a precedent in case they are caught for the same thing - Are based on bribes to manipulate outcomes - Are sadistically intended to humiliate victims.

An international student who was busted filming up to 150 Melbourne women in toilets has walked from court scot-free. The 23-year-old avoided a conviction and can now freely pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. @georgia_bm_

Malignant narcissists are brilliant at selling: - deep (fake) understanding, - shared victim experiences (lies), - heroic status (self-invented), - insights into narcissists/dark personalities…. to those who have been abused by narcs. The abused sadly often buy it, again. 💔
