    I think sometimes people in power get away with things because they know how to manipulate situations so that their victims don’t speak out. Very wrong! Harvey Weinstein springs to mind. But I think parts of our culture are starting to empower people to speak out about these things - not always, though. 

    Are you thinking of a particular person in power? You want to talk about it?

    Hey Ellie,

    That sounds very distressing for you, did you tell anyone about this? Sorry to hear that you went through that.

    Just to let you know I've edited your lastest post as it mentioned details, with the guidelines we have to be careful cause posts could potentially be triggering to others too, hope that makes sense :heart:

    Just wanted to check in to see how you are doing? :heart:

    We're always here for you, sending lots of hugs :heart:
