Moved to return to Twitter to repost this really important story - we need to hear more from the children who survive forced transfers of residence by the family courts.

It’s rare that we get to hear directly from the young people caught in the middle of family court disputes. So it was a privilege to interview Dylan* about his six-year separation from his mother after an unregulated psychologist advised she'd 'alienated' him from his father. 🧵

“She didn’t identify her children, ex-partner, the judge or the court,” she said. Proudman says the law’s insistence on a blanket ban on anyone involved in the case discussing the details clashes with Feigel’s right to voice her own experience. She believes the legal threats from Feigel’s ex-husband were “a tactic akin to control” and “an attempt to harm Lara Feigel’s reputation and career.”

Why Prof Lara Feigel’s book on mothers battling for custody was destroyed – not once, but twice.
Charlotte Proudman is a family court barrister who has campaigned for modernisation in the family courts. “The offending passage in Lara Feigel’s book consisted of three sentences where she described the arguments used by her ex-husband’s barrister in court.”

Congratulations @LaraFeigel - CUSTODY is out today! 🧑🍼
We think that our children belong to us, but families are fragile things...
This book is of urgent interest to anyone concerned with women’s roles in the world and how institutions fail them.

Huge kudos to @LaraFeigel who has fought to have her book about the family courts published in the face of constraints from the very system she is holding up to scrutiny. Looking forward to reading my copy! tinyurl.com/wnk2wxma

I reviewed @JuliaArmfield 's incandescent, v moving, v watery new novel, which finds a way to imagine climate crisis without being apocalyptic (and is a v clever take on Lear)

'By tangling explicitly with reality across mediums she pushes autofiction to new limits, revealing how good this genre is at questioning reality. How can the narrator make her own peculiarities part of a lived life?'
I fell for Miranda July.

'It’s an American energy – expansive, new, full of power, pleasure, change and motion; a frontier energy, even when she’s writing about New York. We can hear Whitman behind her, and Emerson.'
I think through Maggie Nelson (again!) reviewing Like Love

This is fun! In which @danhartland takes my book as a model for rather fascinating personal critical flights of his own…
