In ten days, my interview on the #RavingCoachesPodcast will drop. For those who don't know, I've been helping people out of pornography addictions for the last three years. Lately, I've been working with moms whose teenage sons are battling porn and sexual addictions. The work has been eye opening for them but also for me! In our society, there is so much pressure on parents to make sure your kid looks perfect 100% of the time. There is very little room for failing. But without failure, it can be difficult to learn (and to learn to think for ourselves). Sometimes on the other side of failure is consequence. As parents, it's natural to want to shield our kids from unwanted consequences. But I'm learning that sometimes consequences can be the best teacher available.

Supporting your partner when they’re co-parenting with a narcissistic ex can be incredibly challenging. Narcissists don’t truly co-parent—they counter-parent. They often have their own agenda, viewing anything outside of it as a threat, including attempts to co-parent amicably. This can lead to high-conflict situations that not only harm your partner but also affect the children involved. If you suspect your partner might be co-parenting with a narcissist, here are some signs to watch out for: Blame-Shifting: Narcissists never admit fault. Everything that goes wrong is someone else’s doing, and they often use this to manipulate the situation. Control and Manipulation: Narcissists are experts at control. They might seem like they’re taking responsibility, but it’s all about maintaining power over the situation. Competitive Nature: Narcissists are deeply competitive and hate being told what to do. They’ll use their children as pawns in this power struggle, often badmouthing the other parent to turn the child against them. Self-Centeredness: Narcissists are always concerned with their own needs first. If an action doesn’t benefit them directly, they’ll go to great lengths to avoid it. Understanding these traits can help you better support your partner. Narcissistic abuse often leaves deep scars, including PTSD and emotional trauma. Victims may even deny the abuse to cope, convincing themselves that their ex has good intentions despite clear evidence to the contrary. Your role as a supportive partner is crucial. Be patient, listen without judgment, and help them see the reality of the situation. Encourage them to set boundaries and seek professional help if needed. Remember, you’re not alone in this; support groups and communities can provide valuable guidance as you navigate this difficult path together. #CoParentingWithANarcissist #NarcissisticAbuse #SupportForPartners #HealthyBoundaries #EmotionalSupport #FamilyWellbeing #ProtectingChildren

Not my usual space-related content, but an insightful short article about shame and the human experience. I too watched Baby Reindeer and felt a whole host of triggered emotional responses, and this starts to piece some of those feelings together. (In case a trigger warning is appropriate, the article touches on some of the same themes as the tv programme - shame, trauma, and sexual assault)

Talking about an abusive childhood is difficult. Firstly, you fear the abuser finding out. That feeling of being watched and controlled doesn't go away just because you don't live with them. Then you face people, including other family members, telling you that you're wrong. That you are being cruel to your parents for saying such things. You carry the shame of what happened plus the shame of not being able to talk about it. When the abuser is your mother, that is intensified because no-one talks about abusive mothers. No-one wants to believe they exists. Their behaviour might not have been perfect but they did their best. Right? As a victim, that doesn't change the impact it had and still has on you. You blame yourself for not being able to make relationships work, choosing the wrong partner, struggling with addiction, getting into debt. It must be your fault right because no-one talks about abusive mothers. You must be remembering it wrong and it was all in your head 🤯 Abusive mothers are more prevalent and harmful that the current narrative would have us believe. They go under the radar as the victims don't speak out because no one would believe them. The shame and blame leads to anger and frustration. Victims act out and boom 💥 Blamed and shamed again. By not talking about abusive mothers we are creating generational trauma which is contributing massively to relational problems such as domestic abuse. We have to stop ✋️ blaming men for every relational and parenting problem and start having real conversations about abusive mothers if we are going to stem the tide of generational trauma.

Female perpetrated child abuse and domestic violence is more prevalent than male perpetrated child abuse and domestic violence. But talking about female perpetrators is taboo. Simply raise the issue or address child abuse or DV in a gender neutral way or try to acknowledge women are perpetrators too and the radical feminists will come out of the woodwork and attack you!! It happens every day. The only reason they don't continuously attack me is because they have either blocked me or I have blocked them. Generational child abuse most often comes in the form of psychological and emotional child abuse. Physical and sexual child abuse is much less prevalent but it gets the headlines, attention, and funding. I wonder if there has been a study on how many children suffer from mommy issues versus daddy issues. 🤔

Our TV shows, docs, and films address the root causes and potential solutions for suicide, depression, addiction, domestic violence, sexual assault, bullying, homelessness, keeping women and children safe, bullying, addiction, homelessness, worker safety, and other topics. See website; https://lnkd.in/gEaj5fdG). I'm weary of the "woke/non-woke" stigmas that permeate Hollywood production or distribution of TV shows and films right now. We feel EVERYONE has the right to decide their fate; what happens to their own body, their own sexual orientation, and no one has the right to tell them if, how, and when to do something they do not choose to do. Creating legislation to subvert basic human rights or deny those to someone, especially based on religion, race, color, creed or sexual orientation is immoral, if not illegal.

Breaking the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse As Mental Health Awareness Week unfolds, it's imperative to shine a light on the insidious intersection between mental health and narcissistic abuse. This week, we delve into the harrowing reality of reproductive coercion – a manipulative tactic employed by narcissists to trap women by getting them pregnant. In my forthcoming blog post, we'll explore the chilling phenomenon of "put a baby in her" culture, where pregnancy is wielded as a weapon of control and domination. From coercive tactics to gaslighting and emotional manipulation, narcissists stop at nothing to assert their authority and tether their partners to them indefinitely. During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, it's crucial to recognise the profound impact of narcissistic and domestic abuse on mental well-being. Victims of reproductive coercion often endure psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. By shedding light on this dark reality, we aim to foster greater understanding and support for those affected. Join us as we navigate the complexities of narcissistic and domestic abuse and its devastating effects on mental health. Together, let us stand in solidarity with survivors, offering compassion, empathy, and resources to aid in their healing journey. It's time to break the cycle of abuse and reclaim control over our bodies, our minds, and our lives.

They also shed light on the pivotal role of parental guidance in fostering self-worth, the therapeutic power of creativity in their healing journeys, and the subtle art of forging genuine connections as a means to reclaim our sense of self and rebuild our lives. By amplifying the voices of survivors and sharing their personal narratives, they hope to spark conversations around the complexities of love after abuse. Their dialogue encompasses the realms of romantic relationships, self-love, and the profound journey of transformation and healing. Together, they aim to foster understanding, empathy, and solidarity within our community of survivors and allies.
