    Lyn and Laura keep me company during the quiet hours when my worries go into overdrive and send me spiralling with worst case scenarios.

  • One hundred ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Like most here, “if we’d only found you earlier”. Your candour, your empathy, your knowledge gives all of us hope. As I continue to be stalked - post-court & post-separation, I am at a complete standstill of fear. Knowing now that one day I can resume the (god forbid!) court process, gives me hope. Which is the only thing that keeps us going. Admire the two of you to bits x

  • Empowering

    Thank you so much for this. This is my second separation and I really wish I had found you for my first, though that was 12 years ago. So informative, and gives great steps to be proactive. Th last thing I want is to be a passenger again and through your information I am proactive with realistic expectations. A great complement to my lawyer and I now ask better questions, am doing a lot of the leg work

  • Many thanks

    I can’t thank you enough for the work you are both doing. I have felt very lonely and unseen in this process, but listening to you has made that less so. You provide a kind and grounded place to access through this challenging space. Thank you, I appreciate you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Coercive Control vs a Bad Relationship: How to Tell the Difference
Q: How can someone tell the difference between a reasonable level of care or boundary-setting and coercive control?
If actions consistently remove autonomy, restrict choices, and lead to fear or dependence with negative consequences for non-compliance, it leans toward coercive control.
Coercive Control vs a Bad Relationship: How to Tell the Difference
Q: Can coercive control occur without financial abuse, or with the main breadwinner as the target?
Yes, coercive control can occur in any configuration; financial control often features, but the core is the global pattern of controlling decisions and autonomy regardless of who earns the money.
Coercive Control vs a Bad Relationship: How to Tell the Difference
Q: Is coercive control looked at differently from a psychological point of view to a legal point of view for family court?
The behaviors are identified similarly, but the legal application varies: family court looks at the pattern and its impact, using balance of probabilities, while criminal law requires a higher standard of proof.
Financial Abuse and Coercive Control: When Money Becomes the Weapon
Q: What is the most reliable way to prove coercive control in court when there is no physical violence?
Focus on a documented pattern across multiple domains (economic, emotional, and behavioral) and provide a clear chronology of incidents with dates, effects, and impacts on daily life, including how attempts to access or control finances affected you and the children.
Coercive Control While Separated Under One Roof: How to Survive It Part 2
Q: How do I start planning an exit safely when the other party is coercively controlling?
Plan strategically with safety in mind, secure funds and important documents, and consider professional support to minimize risk during the transition.
