It’s not about judgement. It’s about recognising the coping mechanisms we develop during difficult periods — and finding better ways to look after ourselves.

💬 What helped you cope during one of the most difficult periods of your life?

Control doesn’t always look like control.

It can start subtly.
Who you speak to.
Where you go.
What you wear.
How money is spent.
Constant checking, questioning or making you feel as though you need permission to make ordinary decisions.

Over time, behaviours that might seem small in isolation can become part of a much bigger pattern.

🎥 In this clip from That Family Law Guy: Unfiltered, we discuss recognising control and coercion within relationships - and why abuse isn't defined solely by physical violence.

Sometimes understanding what you're experiencing begins with recognising the behaviour for what it is.

💷 What happens to an inheritance when a relationship breaks down?

Money and family law can be complicated enough. Add an inheritance into the mix, and the emotional stakes can become even higher.

Because what feels deeply personal to you may still need to be considered within a much wider financial picture.

It’s a difficult question - particularly when the outcome of a case can have such a profound impact on parents and children.

Leaving the relationship doesn’t always mean the abuse ends.

For some people, separation simply changes the way control is exercised.

Communication, finances, allegations, access to children and even the family court process can become new battlegrounds - allowing patterns of control and conflict to continue long after the relationship itself has ended.

🎥 In this clip, talks about post-separation abuse and why recognising what is happening matters.

Because sometimes separation isn't the end of the story.
It’s simply where the abuse changes shape.
