Ben Smee, Guardian Australia's Queensland correspondent, has been reporting on the national crisis of domestic and family violence, as well as the culture and attitudes inside the Queensland police, for years. In the final episode of this special Full Story investigation, Broken trust looks at how police are failing to learn from their own mistakes. Guardian Australia can reveal allegations from a former senior Queensland detective who has accused police of covering up their own failures in cases in which vulnerable women died after seeking police protection, and alleges she was ordered to ‘protect the organisation's reputation at all costs'

Ben Smee, Guardian Australia's Queensland correspondent, has been reporting on the national crisis of domestic and family violence, as well as the culture and attitudes inside the Queensland police, for years. In the first episode of this special Full Story investigation, Broken Trust uncovers exclusive new evidence in the case of Hannah Clarke and her children. It looks at serious police failings, in the lead-up to the murders, that were overlooked by the coronial inquest and not investigated by homicide detectives

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a weekend multiple shooting in Kansas.

A woman calls for help after being strangled in her own home. He shows a scratch; she leaves in handcuffs. From that moment, the system that promised safety starts to mirror the control she's trying to escape. That's the hard truth we face with researcher and practitioner Lisa Young Laurence, whose new book, Broken, gathers the long-view stories of 33 women navigating coercive control, wrongful arrest, child protection, court, and probation.We unpack how the victim–perpetrator binary distorts reality, how funding and mandates reward incident-based thinking, and why context, intent, and impact must replace “a hit is a hit.” Lisa explains the “web of power” that connects first response to courtrooms and case plans, showing how misidentification robs survivors—especially low-income women of color—of liberty, employment, and custody. We contrast gendered patterns of accountability: women who admit and take responsibility even while surviving abuse, and men who deny, deflect, and mobilize institutions against partners.Amid the failures are bright anchors of repair. A child protection worker who gives the “whole layout” changes a family's trajectory. A probation officer shifts dates, protects parenting time, and quietly engineers safe relocation when threats escalate. We dig into documentation as a long-lived force—how a single line in a case note can shadow a mother for a decade, and how behaviorally specific, pattern-based records can be a lifeline. We also ask the question systems avoid: did calling the police make life better over six to sixty months? If not, what will it take to make a “yes” the norm?Told in first-person conversation with warmth and candor, this episode blends survivor voice, practitioner insight, and practical steps: center coercive control, measure impact on functioning, build cross-agency flexibility, and write records that reflect reality. If you care about domestic violence, child protection, probation, or community safety, this is a clear-eyed guide to doing less harm and more good.If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—what would you change first?Read the book: Broken, Women's Stories of Intimate and Institutional Harm and Repair https://www.ucpress.edu/books/broken/paperSend us a text Now available!

IFS therapist Jane Frumberg joins us on this episode to unravel the profound world of Internal Family Systems Therapy. Jane, who leads Light Within Therapy, distinguishes between family systems therapy and reunification therapy, emphasizing the unique approach of IFS in helping individuals connect with their inner parts, particularly those influenced by trauma. Unlike traditional family systems therapy, which analyzes family roles and dynamics, and reunification therapy, which rebuilds relationships between estranged parents and children, IFS offers a deeply personal exploration. We also tackle the complicated terrain of domestic violence cases, where participating together in therapy may not be advisable.We navigate the challenging waters of high-conflict parenting, focusing on how child therapists play a crucial role in supporting children embroiled in parental disputes. When one parent isn't willing to participate, Jane stresses the power of a steadfast and consistent presence from the engaged parent, offering hope even when a child has been turned against them. Our conversation with Jane is filled with valuable insights and a shared eagerness for future collaborations. We close with gratitude for her expertise, encouraging listeners to remain hopeful and resilient in the face of familial challenges.

This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor sit down with Elizabeth Watson and Jane Allen Wilson from the North Carolina Victim Assistance Network for one of the most important conversations in veterinary medicine. Domestic violence affects far more veterinary professionals than most realize, yet it remains one of the least discussed workplace safety issues. Research shows that an estimated 1 in 5 women will experience some form of violence by a partner in their lifetime; chances are, someone listening is facing it right now.  Through candid discussion, the guests explain how to recognize warning signs in colleagues, clients, and even animal patients. They describe how abusers often isolate victims and use pets as tools of control, why victims hesitate to seek help, and what veterinarians and managers can do when they suspect abuse. The episode explores the practical and legal steps clinics can take, from safety planning to protective orders, to safeguard team members and their clients. This episode challenges the profession to view domestic violence as both a personal and a workplace concern, urging listeners to foster safer and more supportive veterinary environments. If someone needs confidential support, whether they need help right away or want to have someone to talk to and process with and process privately and safely, they can call, text, or chat with someone here: The National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ Additional resources, support, and information can be found here: - NCCADV - North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence - North Carolina Victim Assistance Network: https://nc-van.org/ - National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: https://ncadv.org/do-you-think-youre-being-abused - National Network to End Domestic Violence: https://nnedv.org/get-help/more-information/ - Directory of each state and territory's state domestic violence coalitions: https://nnedv.org/content/state-u-s-territory-coalitions/ #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportSurvivors #SafeWorkplace #VeterinaryLeadership #MentalHealthInVetMed #VeterinaryWellbeing #VetMedStrong #DVAM2025

November is Family Court Awareness Month, a time to shed light on a system that too often fails to protect survivors and their children. In this episode, I explore what happens when a court system that frequently reframes abuse as “conflict,” rewards manipulation, and punishes protective parents for trying to keep their kids safe.I walk through:What Family Court Awareness Month is and why it matters.How the legal system can retraumatize survivors and reward abusers who appear calm, logical, and “reasonable.”The emotional and strategic toll of trying to protect your child while being gaslit by institutions meant to help.How survivors are adapting—learning to document, regulate, and think strategically to protect themselves and their children.If you're currently navigating family court, divorce, or co-parenting with a high-conflict person, I offer one-on-one coaching and specialized strategy sessions to help you document, organize, and stay grounded through the process.

Agape discusses the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which left many survivors without refuge, and emphasizes the potential risks posed by abusers infiltrating workspaces. By sharing these insights, we aim to raise awareness about the extensive repercussions of domestic violence, from reduced productivity to the potential dangers in work environments.Finally, we highlight the pioneering efforts in California to address domestic violence in the workplace, including the implementation of coercive control laws and workplace violence prevention measures. Discover the significance of SB 553, which mandates workplace violence prevention plans, and the role of human resources in aligning with these regulations. We express our gratitude to Agape for her dedication and look forward to future collaborations that can create a ripple effect of positive change across the nation. This episode is filled with hope and excitement as we discuss fresh starts, new beginnings, and the ongoing efforts to build stronger support networks for victims of domestic violence.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Sally shares her journey from a stable childhood to an abusive marriage. Sally met her abuser in college and, at first, their relationship seemed normal. However, about six months into their marriage, abuse began to surface, driven by his jealousy and insecurities. As the jealousy intensified, the situation quickly escalated to physical abuse. Like many others, Sally remained in the relationship for over a decade due to fear and societal expectations. Even after leaving, she faced ongoing harassment and post-separation abuse.  It's a story of jealousy, physical abuse,  perfectionism, identity, boundary violations, losing yourself, putdowns, accusations, the good times, divorce, custody, belief systems, competition, fear, societal expectations, check ins, tracking, harassment, insecurities, family dynamics, toxic family, and post separation abuse.  *** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss physical abuse in this episode. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS: Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Covert Narcissism Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bitch is a Bad Word | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ When Dating Hurts Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you are not alone. DomesticShelters.org offers an extensive library of articles and resources that can help you make sense of what you're experiencing, connect you with local resources and find ways to heal and move forward. Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.domesticshelters.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to access this free resource.  If you need help moving due to domestic violence, Shelter Movers may be able to help you.

If you've ever felt like your abuser managed to twist the truth so completely that you ended up defending yourself against their behavior — this episode is for you.Today, I'm breaking down DARVO — Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender — and how it shows up in divorce and custody cases. DARVO is psychological warfare disguised as concern. It's the reason you end up explaining, over and over, why following a court order isn't “withholding,” or why setting a boundary isn't “abuse.”We'll walk through:What DARVO actually means — and why it's so effective in family court.Real examples of how it plays out in co-parenting communication.How to respond when your protective actions are reframed as “control.”Practical steps to document and communicate clearly when this pattern appears.If you've been accused of being the problem simply for following the plan, this episode will help you see what's really happening — and how to get back to solid ground.You can find the documentation course, my “Divorcing a Narcissist 101” course, and more tools to support your case and your nervous system at emotionalabusecoach.com or highconflictdivorcecoaching.com.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Financial stress is often linked with an uptick in cases of domestic violence, and in a time of such deep economic and job uncertainty, Americans are not short on financial stress. Kimmi Wolf from the Domestic Violence Coalition joins Holly to talk about domestic violence awareness and prevention amid stressful times in the economy. Tom Golightly, a licensed clinical psychologist, joins Holly today to discuss ways to manage our stress amid financial uncertainty.

Nichole and Jim Schmidt, the mother and stepfather of Gabby Petito, join us on the pod ahead of their keynote address at the 2025 Threads of Hope fundraiser. Joined by Gaston County District Attorney Travis Page, we discuss the work of the Gabby Petitio Foundation, new legislation to prevent domestic violence, and the positive outcomes from the Schmidts' advocacy and training efforts.  Gabby Petito was tragically killed while on a road trip in 2021. Her story is the center of the Netflix documentary series, "American Murder: Gabby Petito," which premiered earlier this year.  Threads of Hope is an annual fundraiser supporting Hope United Survivor Network, which supports survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, elder abuse, and child abuse.  Free domestic violence bystander training (virtual) featuring Nichole & Jim Schmidt on Nov. 13, 2025: https://www.purpleone.org/trainings Learn more about the Gabby Petitio Foundation: https://gabbypetitofoundation.org/ Get involved with Hope United Survivor Network: https://hopeunitedgaston.com/  

A clear map beats chaos when lives are at stake. We sit down with Dr. Kate Fitz-Gibbon to draw a sharper line between “losing control” in life and being coercively controlled by a partner, and we keep children at the center where they belong. Through careful research and straight talk, we unpack why men's and women's experiences of intimate partner abuse often look different in impact, fear, and loss of liberty—and how that difference should guide courts, police, and service providers in mapping patterns and identifying who is the victim and who is the perpetrator.We dive into male self-reports of coercive control, exploring cases that include humiliation, verbal abuse, and financial restriction, as well as accounts driven by entitlement to control over partners or children. Then we widen the lens: Pattern mapping across time exposes the primary aggressor more reliably than incident-by-incident thinking, prevents misidentification under new coercive control laws, and creates a direct line to child safety by holding domestic abusers, prevalently fathers, accountable as parents. If you work in child protection, probation, or family courts, you'll hear practical ways to separate counter-allegations from documentable behavioral patterns.The stakes rise when we talk about boys. Australian national data shows high rates of childhood maltreatment among both girls and boys, with domestic abuse often at the center. When boys' trauma goes unrecognized or untreated, the risk of later violence, school disengagement, and mental health crises increases. We argue for prevention efforts that help boys navigate rejection, loss of control, consent, and emotional vulnerability—while unlearning coercive patterns used to manage relationships and life stress. This must be paired with services truly designed for children. Add culture change that dismantles the “man box,” and you begin to connect the dots between men's health, family safety, and the prevention of future homicides.Listen for a practical, compassionate framework that respects male victims, safeguards women and children, and helps systems stop guessing at who is the victim and who is the perpetrator. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who needs a better map, and leave a review with one insight you'll use this week.Send us a text Now available!

Black women are six times more likely to be murdered by intimate partners than white women. Let that sink in.Dr. Miltonette Craig pulls back the curtain on this hidden crisis in our powerful conversation about intimate partner violence and media representation. As an assistant professor at Sam Houston State University and research coordinator for the Crime Victims Institute, Dr. Craig brings both academic rigor and genuine compassion to this critical discussion.The statistics are staggering – approximately 43% of Black women report experiencing intimate partner violence compared to 30% of white women. But statistics only tell part of the story. Dr. Craig expertly unpacks the complex sociocultural factors creating this disparity: economic barriers that trap women in abusive relationships, the "loyalty trap" where Black women hesitate to report abuse for fear of contributing to mass incarceration, and deep-seated mistrust of law enforcement that discourages seeking help.Perhaps most troubling is how media coverage perpetuates these problems. Through her groundbreaking research, Dr. Craig reveals how news stories about Black female victims often lack context, resources, and the critical analysis needed to understand this epidemic. We discuss a particularly disturbing case where two Black women were murdered by their husbands during conjugal visits at the same prison facility within months of each other – yet media coverage remained superficial and disconnected from the larger pattern of violence.This episode isn't just about identifying problems – Dr. Craig offers concrete solutions for journalists, newsrooms, and media consumers. From including crisis resources in every domestic violence story to diversifying newsroom staff, these actionable steps could literally save lives.Whether you work in media, advocacy, or simply care about creating a more just society, this conversation will transform how you understand intimate partner violence and the power of representation. Listen now, and join us in demanding better for Black women and all survivors of domestic violence.

In this gripping episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Valentine bravely recounts her experience of being married to a controlling religious abuser.
