Insidious manipulation = murder.

It needs to be exposed.

One needs to learn to recognise it.

Women, particularly, though not only, need to be aware and equipped to counter it.

Men, need to confront their fellows who engage in this.

Parents, need to recognise that their children have independent minds and though needing care and protection, need space to grow and experiment and determine their own present and future.

thanks, Bella, for yet another apposite piece.

Take care. Stay safe.
