The Post-Separation Abuse Podcast

11. Dispelling the myth of shared blame in high-conflict separation & divorce


Listen Later

Have you ever felt unjustly blamed for the strife in a high-conflict separation? 
In this episode I'm  tearing down the myth that both parties are equally responsible for the turmoil that often follows a divorce, especially when it comes to co-parenting. 

As someone who's walked alongside many women embroiled in post-separation battles, I shine a light on the realities they face, including the continuation of family violence they hoped had ended with their relationship. The truth is, these women are frequently on the receiving end of legal action initiated by their ex-partners, and it's high time we recognise and support victim-survivors, rather than perpetuate a cycle of blame.

This episode isn't just about laying bare the challenges—it's about offering solace too.  I discuss the critical importance of building a circle of support, and I share how my group membership program is a lifeline for many women, offering a community that understands without needing the full backstory. 

For anyone feeling isolated, misunderstood, or weary from the fight, this conversation is a reminder that you're not alone, and the weight of dispelling conflict is not yours to carry alone. Tune in for a heart-to-heart, where empathy meets empowerment, and where your side of the story is not only heard but wholeheartedly believed.
