When we were in the middle of things I wanted every tip I could find. Knowing that a loved one is a victim of this kind of crime and trying to figure out how to help them can feel like trying to find a glass of water in a crowded room while wearing ear plugs and a blindfold. I hope this series will help caring family members feel less alone and offer some helpful suggestions for how they might intervene.
I’m also hoping that by talking about how these crimes happen, we can move out of unhelpful victim blaming and into more productive conversations, like how to stop these manipulative criminals before they get a grip on someone.
Wow. I'm on the edge of my seat. Great writing, and very helpful for anyone wanting to protect their loved ones!
That’s certainly my hope.
