Isolating you from your support networks is a key tactic of coercive control. Cutting you off from family, friends, work colleagues makes you easier to control. This is the abuser's goal. 24/7 confidential Helpline 0818 42 42 44 #isolation #coercivecontrol #itsallaboutcontrol

DARVO is a manipulative tactic used by abusers to avoid accountability. And because we still live in an abuser centred world, its pretty depressing how often it works. #darvo #victimblaming #control #controllingthenarrative #theabuserstoolkit

Every man has the power to speak up & prevent men's violence against women. Nothing will change unless all men are open to changing. #notallmenbutallwomen

When a victim-survivor breaks or doesn't follow the abusers 'rules' they will often be stonewalled as 'punishment'. Abusers stonewall to create or maintain control. It's always about control. #stonewalling #coercivecontrol #powerandcontrol

We support women & their children experiencing all forms of abuse in their intimate relationships including coercive control, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, financial abuse, sexual abuse, digital/online abuse, stalking & post separation abuse. #notallabuseisphysical

Women & their children who are no longer in an abusive home/relationship can still access our support services. We also support women & their children experiencing post separation abuse after they have escaped an abusive home/relationship. #postseparationabuse

Abusers do not present as you expect them to. They do good things when others are watching & terrible things when they're not. Remember this the next time you choose not to believe a survivor. #believesurvivors #believewomen #pillarofthecommunity #behindcloseddoors
