1/ I was well mannered.
I was a people pleaser.
I once and believed that people who were also well mannered and smiled must be honest and kind.
I was groomed. @davtw2

2/ Unfortunately being well mannered in a situation of trust, can lead to being used and abused.
It can lead to grooming.
It can lead to many forms of abuse including IPV and DFV.
Teaching our children to be obedient isn’t sending the right message. @DrWilliams

3/ Through adversity Grace Tame learned to trust her instincts and show her emotions.
This deflects those who are not genuine. It helps to deflect shame. Shame grows in silence. @TamePunk

Three myths about trauma:
Traumatic events profoundly shock and overwhelm us. We can be exposed to trauma through deliberate harm, by natural disaster or accident, or by witnessing harm to others. 1/22

It could be a single, vivid event or a pattern of violence, like childhood or domestic abuse. It can happen in public, at work or at home, where we expect to feel safe. Trauma leaves us feeling powerless and afraid. 2/22
We might experience flash-backs and nightmares and want to retreat from the world. It’s very common to feel anger, guilt and mood swings, to become scattered and unproductive. 3/22
“Too many of us believe women lie about rape. In fact, they rarely report it.” Source: Julia Baird, journalist, historian, broadcaster and author. Ms Baird hosts The Drum on ABC TV. 1/28 #March4Justice #GraceTame #BrittanyHiggins #KatharineThornton #Auspol
“For centuries we have upheld the hoary myth that women lie about rape. This is why it matters so much that Linda Reynolds shamefully called Brittany Higgins a “lying cow” in earshot of a group of people in her office.” 2/28
“The Defence Minster said she was not referring to her former staffer’s rape allegation but other statements Higgins made regarding the poor response from her superiors. It matters because when you call a person a liar, you undermine their credibility on all matters.” 3/28
Important thread: “‘Rule of law'? For Porter and PM it's the rule of ignorance: Christian Porter and Scott Morrison's appeals to 'rule of law' ring hollow, barrister Geoffrey Watson writes.” Source: New Daily. 1/17 #MarchForJustice #GraceTame et al. #Auspol
“The appeal for protection under the “rule of law” made recently by Scott Morrison and Christian Porter is not only a bad argument, it tends to undermine the rule of law.” 2/17 #MarchForJustice #GraceTame et al. #Auspol
“At its heart the rule of law is simple. It reflects the idea that in a society like ours there is a presumption that we live and co-exist under a system of identifiable laws – hence John Adams’ famous aphorism that we live under “a government of laws and not men”. “ 3/17

Parliament House and the woeful Federal Government response including failure to report crimes to the police, cover-ups and harbouring of perpetrators in the Federal Governent. 3/23
