@LisahollHolland @DaleMatthews @jessphillips Thank you! Glad to see you raising awareness. I complained to John Radcliffe Hospital but, of course, by then it’s too late.

@coercive_cntrl @DaleMatthews @jessphillips I’m so sorry, that’s awful, it’s something they should all be aware of as the consequences are life changing.

Twitter doctors (some actual some not) who diagnosed me with Labyrinthitis I suspect you were right have taken a considerable turn for the worst today. How long will it last?

@LisahollHolland @DaleMatthews @jessphillips Please keep drawing attention to it Elizabeth. I had the same. Months of debilitating Labyrinthitis (stress? virus?) then sudden single sided deafness. Young Dr in A&E told me to see my Dr but should have given me steroids straight away. Now profoundly deaf in one ear, for life

@DaleMatthews @jessphillips Oh that’s interesting, wish I’d said something now.

If someone you care about is being abused — or if you think that they might be — it can be very difficult to know how to support them. We asked the victim-survivors we work with what a friend, relative or colleague could have done to help them.

A heart-rending story about #coercion that should concern every parent of school age children. Do you speak to your sons and daughters about this? These boys were someone’s sons. mol.im/a/10942687

@KPanoutsopoulou @Feelingnhealing Quite right. Psychological abuse can sometimes be worse

@Feelingnhealing @coercive_cntrl Physical abuse is worse than psychological abuse. Well it depends on the duration, scale and severity of each form of abuse. Psychological abuse is very common but more difficult to prove and in many instances the mental injury might take longer to heal.

What would you say are the most common misconceptions of Domestic Abuse?

Very insightful testimony on the devastating effects of coercive control at today's APPG on Domestic Violence & Abuse - keeping it in mind as we finalise our consultation submission on the Coercive or Controlling Behaviour guidance. Thanks for having us, @womensaid and #APPGDVA!

#UnregulatedExperts who apply belief systems that wouldn’t comply with evidential standards for expert evidence can wield huge influence on the outcomes of family court cases including removal of children from primary carers, possibly to an abusive parent

It has arrived!! Such an important book about #economicabuse and how we should conceptualise and respond to it in the UK. Congratulations to the author @nicolajanesharp. I can’t wait to start reading it 😃
