Alice needs to wise up if she’s going to help abused women.
The very first training I did about abuse was the different types of abuse - emotional, psychological, coercive control, financial, sexual and physical abuse.
The theme was all abuse starts with psychological abuse and just because there’s been no violence don’t ever diminish it - it’s abuse.
Also physical abuse doesn’t necessarily result in the worst trauma. (Not minimising to any victims of physical abuse).
She thinks what she’s done to him and is doing to the girls is okay because she’s not hitting them.
The fact she considers him refusing to talk to her as abuse demonstrates she does understand not all abuse is physical violence.
It’s worth also noting she can’t claim abandonment (which can be a form of abuse). He told her he was leaving months before he moved out and tried everything to discuss the important issues such as the girls, the separation and financial issues.
It was her refusal to cooperate which meant he finally went silent.
