They also examine the significant struggles she faced within the police and court systems, which may have displayed bias and racism, particularly in Family Court. Also, they discuss how the judicial system focuses on child protection and how it sometimes fails to consider the best interests of the abuse victim, emphasizing the urgent need for reform in family courts to provide better support for victims. topics | toxic relationship, unfair treatment, police, court system, bias, racism, co-parenting, narcissistic ex-partner, self-care, narcissism, white privilege, family court, psychological evaluation, coercive control, court reform, self-discovery, support networks, humor Lorraine - Episode Link "You Have To Be Very Careful With Him.” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lovelustfear-lorraine-you-have-to-be-very-careful-with-him/id1735876283?i=1000664798749&itscg=30200&itsct=podcast_box&ls=1&mttnsubad=1000664798749 https://open.spotify.com/episode/54b3WJWHzDo324QLD2VU1o?si=P9hTAjHKTjW4HV73DUFYsw links Michele Locke https://www.michelelocke.com/ https://www.instagram.com/attorneymichelelocke/ Lorraine Go Fund Me Page: https://gofund.me/5bd8a430 Narcissism The Comedy Night:  https://www.montrealimprov.com/shows/narcissism-a-comedy-night Narcissism The Improvised Musical: https://www.montrealimprov.com/shows/narcissism-the-musical-a-fundraising-event Instagram: www.instagram.com/thestarparentpodcast Woman Aware:  https://www.womenaware.ca/ Natalie Bedard better known as NatNat Energy Healing Specialist: Regulating the Nervous System and Relieving Emotional and Mental Pain Through Breathwork Website: www.LiftOneSelf.com IG: Https://instagram.com/liftoneself FB: Https://facebook.com/liftoneself Podcast: https://liftoneself.buzzsprout.com Youtube: https://m.youtube.com/@LiftOneSelfPodcast National Domestic Violence Hotline (24/7/365) Call 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) Text: START to 88788  https://www.thehotline.org/ https://www.facebook.com/NationalDomesticViolenceHotline https://www.instagram.com/NDVHofficial/ guest + story | submission information  If you have a dating or relationship story to share, want to participate in a discussion
