@melaniebridgen.familylaw: If control continues through the children, the money, or the threat of court that is not “conflict”. It is post-separation abuse, and English law does recognise it. Coercive and controlling behaviour doesn’t end when you leave. For many survivors, that’s when it escalates. The Domestic Abuse Act 2021, non-molestation orders, occupation orders, prohibited steps orders and PD12J exist for a reason but too many survivors are never told what protections are available to them. You are not imagining it. You are not “difficult”. And you are not powerless. Follow me for clear, survivor-focused family law guidance and share this so others know they’re not alone. #CoerciveControl #PostSeparationAbuse #DomesticAbuseAwareness #FamilyLaw #fyp

I reported my ex for coercive control, emotional abuse and attempted blackmail, they told me they couldn't do anything because we were no longer together. I have spoken to Social services, and as long as the children aren't being beaten and they're attending school and medical appointments, they see nothing wrong. he is allowed to continue to be abusive to everyone, no reprocussions.... its hard to prove!

What’s the point in fighting and going threw courts? If the other parent doesn’t listen and still keeps your child from you. There’s no hope

I doubt that any judge will listen to you, ànd you can bring tones of proof legal documents and will say they do not count

It’s proving that this is taking place and stopping seeing your children makes it worse those gaps of not seeing them the partners has more time to influence the children
