What kind of ecosystem breeds #coercivecontrol?

🧵

First and foremost, a climate where bullies are rewarded.
When they’re not held to account but rewarded with getting their own way because others are too scared to confront them, that is the perfect Petri dish for #coercivecontrol

Different rules for different people.

Making allowances for, or ignoring bullying/inappropriate/abusive behaviours of people we like or admire.
Holding them to a lower standard because they’re family, or a celebrity, or wealthy, or we benefit in some way from looking away.

I detest the term *parental alienation* with a passion and now I won’t use it.

It used to be called ‘Threat Therapy’.

A🧵

I’ve been told, frequently, that not all perpetrators are men, that mums get *alienated* too and that denying the existence of PA means denying that abusers DO and WILL maliciously sever a relationship between parent and child.

And yes, all of the above IS true.

But refusing to use that term is NOT the same as denying that this happens.

So, for avoidance of doubt, here is why I believe the term *parental alienation* should not be used:

Churches stayed mainly silent when Nazis were persecuting Jews.

There were also those who abetted the Nazis to escape and gave them false documents.

#HolocaustMemorialDay

Adolf Eichmann was aided by a Franciscan monk who helped him obtain an Argentine visa and who signed an application for a falsified Red Cross passport.

Eichmann masterminded the Nazi network of death camps that resulted in the murder of approximately 6 million Jews.

Josef Mengele fled to Argentina with the help of a Catholic clergy member.

Nicknamed the “Angel of Death” he conducted experiments at Auschwitz particularly on twins, pregnant women and the disabled. Mengele even tortured and killed children with his medical experiments.

WHAT HE SAYS TO YOU
- versus -
WHAT HE SAYS TO OTHERS

A🧵

#coercivecontrol

To you: You’re too beautiful to do the housework. I don’t want you to cook/clean/tidy.

To others: She thinks she’s too good to do the cleaning. She never does anything around the house.

To you: You are so good to your friends, they don’t deserve you and everything you do for them.

To others: She thinks you’re ungrateful and don’t appreciate everything she does for you.

Let’s talk about the chronic low self-esteem following a campaign of psychological and emotional abuse.

🧵

We live in a world that sees physical violence as harmful and psychological/emotional abuse as minor.

A significant reason is down to the fact that physical violence is easier to evidence and so, therefore easier to *SEE*.

And whilst this is true, it fails to understand and acknowledge the severe harm that is inflicted in the absence of physical abuse.

“On one occasion, she said, male officers taped her phone to the ceiling, telling her: “We’re gonna watch your arse when you climb on the table.””

How a dead officer’s iPhone exposes misogyny, corruption and racism in a police force
🧵

Ricky Jones, a retired police officer knew where many of Gwent police’s skeletons were buried, but it wasn’t until his death that his own began to emerge.

In 2020, he jumped to his death from a bridge.

He left behind his wife and three daughters.

To the outside world Jones was a respected former copper and family man. But behind closed doors he subjected his family to decades of #domesticabuse.
