We’ve probably heard it said many times before, but its meaning has never really registered with us. “I’ve met my soul mate.” Or perhaps it’s something that has unconsciously registered, but never really consciously registered. That can happen too. Some of us may already have an idea of what a…

Date 1 October 2016
Author Ilana Estelle

Date 29 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle

Coercive control

Date 27 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s usual to have a disagreement, or not to agree with your partner. It’s usual to have an opinion to the point of not being swayed. Those are usual traits of a normal healthy relationship, but when are the boundaries crossed so that the relationship goes from one that is…
