This mentality could put tradwives in a precarious position considering the amount of control–both financial and otherwise–that they yield to their husbands.” 180

Ilsa☠️ @ilsabones.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Therapists don’t give advice. I don’t know your life like you do and choices are more meaningful when they come from you. We can talk about options, but you should *run* from therapists who try to tell you what to do. It’s a subtle abuse of power. 0161

Ilsa☠️ @ilsabones.bsky.social · 21/03/2026As someone who has worked with adjudicated folk, I can tell you that punishment and rehabilitation are so far from being that same thing. Do we want to reduce crimes or no? Because we have ways that work and we’re not using them 020
