    Our next guest post is now up - and it’s an article exploring the trope of the ‘bad boy’ that pervades contemporary culture and influences what we as a society perceive to be desirable. Thanks so much to Esther Huntington-Whiteley for her incisive analysis. Click the link in our bio to read the full post.
    Emotional abuse isn’t about constant maltreatment - it’s about cycles and patterns of behaviour that make a victim dependent on an abuser. So within those cycles come spates of seemingly loving behaviour - but this is all part of the package of abuse.
    All societies need to offer a safety net to victims of abuse - but that net is often porous and fails to support those who need to be helped. If the net isn’t working, we may well need a new one - one based on improved attitudes and understandings of misogyny and violence against women.
    We must not underestimate the severity of emotional abuse - it often forms the basis of the patterns that allow abusive relationships to sustain themselves
