This has been a long time coming!!! X

🙌🏽HISTORIC CAMPAIGN WIN🙌🏽

👩🏻‍⚖️ After a decade-long campaign, today the government has decided to repeal the legal presumption of parental contact.

This is a HUGE move for child victims of domestic abuse, who for too many years have been failed and silenced by the systems supposed to protect them.

🤔What does that mean?
There will no longer be a legal presumption in the family courts that it's safe and better for a child to have access to both their parents.

🤔Why is it important?
Presumption costs lives. 19 more children have been killed by an abusive parent in the last decade, as a result of unsafe child contact arrangements.

🤔What next?
The repeal will need to be made through legislation in the coming months. It is one step towards protecting more children, but we're calling for a whole-system approach to prioritise children’s voices in the courts, and beyond.

🩷A huge thank you to our survivor Ambassador Claire Throssell and countless other survivors, who's courage and determination have helped lead this campaign.

Grief is messy……💔

Grief is messy.

Not in the way people warn you about.

Not in the tears or the heartbreak or the funeral plans.

Grief is messy because it doesn’t make sense.

One moment, you're laughing at a memory—
The next, you’re drowning in guilt for laughing at all.

You think you’ve accepted it,
but then a song, a scent, a date on the calendar
sends you spiraling back to day one.

Grief doesn’t follow rules.
It doesn’t arrive in neat, tidy stages.
It crashes in like a storm,
then disappears,
then comes back just when you think the sky is clear.

It’s confusing.
It’s contradictory.
You can feel deep love and deep anger at the same time.
Relief and regret.
Peace and pain.
Hope and hopelessness—all in one breath.

It doesn’t ask permission.
It doesn’t care how long it’s been.
And just when you start to feel okay,
it whispers, “Don’t forget.”

Grief is messy because it lives in the gray areas.
There’s no handbook.
No finish line.
No right way to do it.

It changes you.
And just when you start to recognize yourself again,
you shift.

You don’t get over it.
You grow around it.
You carry it, reshape it, wrestle with it.

Some days, it feels like a scar.
Other days, like an open wound.

Grief is messy because love is messy.
And when someone you love is gone—
what’s left behind is never simple.

So if your grief feels all over the place,
if it doesn’t make sense,
if you think you're doing it “wrong”—
you’re not.

You’re just living inside the truth of it.
