Leaving doesn’t always mean the abuse ends. It often just changes form.
#PostSeparationAbuse
Leaving doesn't always end the abuse.
Repeated messages, threats, stalking and controlling behaviour can continue long after separation.
Survivors deserve safety, protection and support beyond the relationship. 💜

Abuse doesn't always end when a relationship ends. Family court and custody disputes can sometimes become another way for an abusive person to maintain control.

This is what survivors face once they leave #PostSeparationAbuse
Spice Girls star Mel B says she earned more than £80 million but left her marriage with $936 in a bank account. She was then ordered to pay her ex-husband $15,000 a month in spousal support.
In the video below, she describes how her husband abused her during their marriage.
She was married to Stephen Belafonte for 10 years. She says the abuse was financial as well as physical and emotional, allegations he has repeatedly denied.
Leaving the marriage did not end their financial ties. She still faced legal bills and payments to the man she said had abused her.
Even the Spice Girls reunion tour did not give her enough to buy a home. She said the earnings went toward legal fees and payments to her ex-husband.
During the pandemic, she moved into her mother’s home in Leeds with her children. Her mother thought leaving meant she would be fine, but Mel says she had to rebuild both her finances and her confidence.
By 2024, she had bought a home again, something she once thought might never happen.
Should a woman ever have to pay alimony to the man she says abused her?

Shared custody with an abuser isn’t co-parenting—it’s court-sanctioned access to harm.

When the abusive narcissist can’t reach you anymore, they will weaponize your children.
Abusers often use children as tools to manipulate, control, or isolate their partner, causing deep emotional harm to parent and child. 💔😔

Abuse rarely just stops when you leave. It often moves into a new phase, which can involve smear campaigns, stalking, threats, blackmail, financial abuse, false allegations, abusive parenting, and more! #PostSeparationAbuse
