Yesterday I wrote about abuse existing on a continuum. I wrote that when we ignore covert abuse, give it a free pass, shove it under the rug and only recognise overt abuse we continue to create a society that has no healthy yardstick by which to measure. That when we insist that things on the “lower end” of the spectrum aren’t “actual” abuse, “actual” rape that we help to gloss over warning signs, and unhealthy behaviour. We normalise them. In some cases we even romanticize them. And as a result it makes the lines between discipline and abuse, anger and abuse, flattery and harassment, sex and rape; blurry.

There are very few upsides to being a single parent with a partner who lives interstate. But one of the few silver linings is that if you decide to bring a new partner into you life, you can choose someone who's parenting values match yours.  A letter to my Ex husband, who believes himself to be sex-positive, and would probably have called me sex negative.  |
