Pillars of the community, charitable and generous individuals DO abuse their partners and commit murder. Society needs to stop being surprised and start recognising the signs. They present an image to the outside, whilst reserving who they really are for behind closed doors.

A lot going on in today's news 😭, but thanks @ScotNational for space for families to keep talking re drug-related deaths. This article by @ScotFamADrugs chair & @Scottish_ddtf family rep Colin Hutcheon is a must read. #EveryDayForFamilies @AConstanceSNP bit.ly/3mA6nZk

I genuine dislike the term ‘parental alienation’. I think we need to look at ALL the ways a relationship between a parent and child can be disrupted or broken and look at it without the heavy reliance on a term that continues to be controversial, misunderstood and weaponised.
